This is sheer guesswork.  It must be seeing two entries, so - 

Are these addresses in both addressbook and recent-addresses?  Do you sort 
your addressbook by 'lastname firstname'?  If the recent-address list has the 
name in the form you don't use in the addressbook, clean it out from 
recent-addresses.  Next time you use it, it will go in using the preferred 
format.
