---- Detecting possible duplicates

I have an array called $names and this array consists of a list of full names fetched from a mysql db. i'm trying to figure out a way to check if any names have a 70% chance of being same as another name within the array and if so to list the ones that maybe duplicated. The reason is because sometimes one name may have been entered few times with different spellings.

Can anyone tell me if there is any way this can be done?

thanks
