Is addressing someone by the name "Elohi" or "Lohi" considered a diminutive of the name "Allah," which belongs to God Almighty, and should one object to those who use these appellations?

It is not permissible to tamper with the names of Allah or to alter them by diminutivizing them, such as saying (Alowayhi) or (Lowayhi). One must advise relatives and rebuke them if they do so.
