It won't work because there's no database column that corresponds to the full name.
A simple but limited alternative would be to split the string on " " and use the result as first_name and last_name, but you would probably want to take into account first_names and/or last_names with legitimate spaces in them (e.g. "Mary Ann" or "van der Waal", perhaps by compiling a list of each possible configuration and using that to filter on with first_name__in and last_name__in.
