I don’t think he could have declared himself a sovereign as he seemed to believe in and have been developing concepts of oneness. Very little of his teachings have survived and he was murdered/executed 3 years after beginning a ministry, so sadly much of his philosophy was either underdeveloped or destroyed.

As far as Yeshua / Jesus goes, I’ve got one of those names too. Certain cultures or languages have a hard time either remmbering or correctly pronouncing my name. They have a phonetically similar equivalent and they call me this.

I don’t fall into hysterics about it because it’s not personal and it’s not meant as a slight. It’s what they’re familiar with.

How do you know Yeshua would have been offended by being called Jesus by (to him) foreign people? Maybe he would like the novelty of the J sound and the sound of it. Maybe he would feel honored to be held in such high regard that peoples who’s languages are Latin and Germanic based that they gave him a special name.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest once again, that if that is something He would have gotten overly fussed about, He wouldn’t have been Jesus. Or Yeshua.
