Default Comparison between two similar strings

Hi,

I have two arrays of name and I would like to check if some of the
names are present in both of the arrays.
But the names can be mispelled, or differently entered in the two
arrays, for example:

-Alberto Parreira , albeerto parteira
-alberto parreira , alberto juan fernandez parreira
-alberto-juan parreira , alberto juuan parreira

Do you have an idea of a function that could tell me: those two
strings represents (at for example 80% sure) the same person ?

Cheers
