I would be careful using wildcards as proposed. They can be inefficient (particularly in a list of disjunctions) but even more importantly you are excluding more than the 3 names. Your results won't be consistent with your intent.
In the new version of Luke (the tool) you can view how your wildcard query is re-written into boolean queries. This should help to catch those cases where wildcard queries match unwanted terms.
