Individual Full Name Metaphone Pairs Cluster (dnClusterFullNameMeta)

The Full Name Metaphone Pairs cluster uses the normalized full name for the individual to generate a cluster key for every pair of names within the full name.

The default logic of this is as follows:
  1. Split the normalized full name into several name tokens, using space as a delimiter.

    Note:

    Many other punctuation and noise characters are normalized to spaces before generating the cluster. For further information see Name Normalization.
  2. Sort the name tokens alphabetically.
  3. Apply the Metaphone transformation (the standard double-metaphone algorithm) to each name token, outputting a key with a length of up to three characters.
  4. Concatenate the Metaphone values, generating a final key value for each distinct pair of tokens.
  5. Deduplicate the list of keys.
The following table provides some examples.
