"Suggest Name" - refer to Contacts instead of incoming "display name"?

I am using MS Outlook 2002

I have a problem with the "Suggest Name" feature in addressing new
e-mails. Outlook seems to use the latest incoming e-mail's "display
name" for the suggestion as opposed to the "Display Name" I have in my
Contacts folder.

For example if John Smith is set up with a display name of "John Smith"
in my Contacts, but he sends me an e-mail and he has his own "Display
Name" set up as "J. Smith", then the Suggest Name feature on my
computer will not list him under "John", I have to remember that he
would be listed under "J. ".

This becomes much more difficult as I receive many e-mails from Japan
where the senders have their display name in Japanese. This
effectively prevents me from using the Suggest Name feature for these
recipients.

Is there any way I can force Outlook to use the Display Names in my
Contacts folder for the Suggest Names function?
