1) Use Mailman 2.1.5
2) subscribe users as: "namestring" <email at address.com>
"namestring" can be "Joe" "John Smith" "Smith, John" "Pat and Joe Peterson" 
etc.

I also changed the subscribe and update forms and removed the "(optional)" 
notation next to the Name field so users feel obligated to enter a name if 
they join using the web forms.
