Ramanujan's name is rendered twice as "Ramanujan, Srinivasa Aaiyangar." The first three words of the obituary by P.V. Seshu Aiyar and R. Ramachandra Rao are Srinivasa Ramanujan Aiyangar, though the title is just Srinivasa Ramanujan.
In his outstanding biography of Ramanujan, Robert Kanigel (whose name is misspelled in the references) uses Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar once, explaining where each name comes from, and then stops using Iyengar (and for that matter Srinivasa).
We still do not know how Ramanujan found many of his theorems, but it should be emphasized that, however formidable his intuition may have been, it was the kind of intuition that comes from doing lots of very difficult calculations.
