You are struggling with similar problems... I extended the allowed
values for bbdb-accept-name-mismatch to include regexps and
functions. This should hopefully solve most problems of that kind.
See the updated doc string of bbdb-accept-name-mismatch.

2012-09-07  Roland Winkler  <wink...@gnu.org>
        * lisp/bbdb.el (bbdb-accept-name-mismatch): Allow value being a
        regexp or function.
        * lisp/bbdb-mua.el (bbdb-annotate-message): Use these new values.
