The only good solution to this problem is getting the "customers" to
record their names when their records are created. This could be done
at the library itself, if that's who is doing this, during a signup
process.

NO TTS will be able to do this. The reason is that names can be
spelled the same and pronounced differently depending on the person.
Even some first names like Stephen have at least two ways of being
pronounced.
