Replacing regex for email-to-name matching

Context: Company has an email list of thousands of emails and list of names in their database that aren't mapped
Problem: Can write a matching algorithm but there's dozens of various edge cases and covering all of them exhaustively would take too long
Workflow:
- Pass email
- Pass first name + last name
- Match
  - Email to full name (eg Ted Johnson => tjohnson@airbnb.com and Brianna Vault => brianna.vault@datadog.com)
