What you're dealing with is a mess. All you can do is piece it together the best that you can, and allow the end user to edit and make changes to their information. Those who care will make the edits, and those who don't won't. At that point, if the user doesn't like seeing the information the way it's presented, it's their own damned fault.
I've come to believe that most people are pretty understanding when it comes to "computers" screwing up their names. It's when the situtation can't be corrected that they get irrate.
