Is there an original caller id name ??
You *might* be able to setup some dialplan magic to re-write the CIDName
again when transferring it. ie, overwrite the change you made when you
added the tennant name in front...

Yeah, this sounds like the next best thing, while it may not sound like
a nice thing, I've had various thoughts about how 'cool' this could be.
Consider placing a web front end to allow your tennants to update their
greeting at will. When the call comes in, the 'current' text is
displayed on screen for your receptionist to say.

Lotsa other things are possible once you get to this stage...
