BBDB already asks:

,----[ <f1> v bbdb-quiet-about-name-mismatches RET ]
| bbdb-quiet-about-name-mismatches is a variable defined in `bbdb.el'.
| Its value is nil
| 
| Documentation:
| *If this is true, then BBDB will not prompt you when it notices a
| name change, that is, when the "real name" in a message doesn't correspond
| to a record already in the database with the same network address.  As in,
| "John Smith <jqs@frob.com>" versus "John Q. Smith <jqs@frob.com>".
| Normally you will be asked if you want to change it.
| If set to a number it is the number of seconds to sit for while
| displaying the mismatch message.
| 
| You can customize this variable.

Bye, Reiner.
