I usually set CALLERID(name)=CALLERID(num) somewhere in my dialplan,
because I have a few Siemens phones behind FritzBoxes, and they tend to
give unreliable CLID with certain names.

However I just updated my dialplan to have an additional exten, setting
CALLERID(name), and ended up with

server2:/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/01/INBOX# cat msg0000.txt
...
callerid="Anselm Martin Hoffmeister" <201>

So you seem to be right there. In reality, my SIP devices have 5xx
numbers, but are rewritten to 2xx extensions because there are several
SIP devices behind most extensions. But in theory, you can configure
those informations to display in the sip.conf [device] sections afaik.
