You might be able to make something work with !~, but the easy way is to use a
meta rule to reverse the sense.
header __TO_TEST To =~ /my name/i
meta TO_TEST !__TO_TEST
score TO_TEST 5
I'm going to assume you know the FP consequences of something like this, and
not bother with the standard disclaimer about this being in general a bad idea
if scored at more than a point or two.

Subject: Custom To: rule variant to exclude matches?
SA Team,
I have a fully functional SA installation that is serving me very well. I
use Mailscanner and a few custom rules, and am generally very pleased with the
results.
There’s one more rule that I’d like to run, but haven’t figured out how to
implement it. I want to use a header rule that will trigger on any mail sent to
my domains that is to an address that is *not* in my test block, for example:
header TO_ADDRESS_BOGUS To !~ /my|real|addresses|here/i
describe TO_ADDRESS_BOGUS To: contains bogus address
score TO_ADDRESS_BOGUS 5.0
I know about blacklists and whitelists and have a solution in place that
works ok, but I really want a header rule like the one above. Yes, I’ve
searched. Yes, I have found many rules that implement a To: match test but have
not found an rule that implements a non-match test. I suspect that my use of !~
is incorrect, but lint is happy with that rule as-is.
Is this type of rule possible? If so, how might I implement it?
