Unless your data have been through a Standardization stage the Match stage is likely to assign a negative (disagreement) weight to "Bob" and "Robert". But you could match on a phonetic of some kind - probably not one of the out-of-the-box ones, which require the first or final character to match. Best is to standardize the name first.

But the problem is that name should not be changed?
