Not as such (at least that I'm aware of), but if you don't have the full
name you can use * or similar.  If you do an

        ADD listname email@address *

the email@address subscription will be associated with the name (Name not
available) or something similar.

Also if you just have a firstname you could do something like

        ADD listname email@address Firstname .

which I've done from time to time.

Neither of these is completely automated so they probably aren't quite what
you want, but they're there if you need them.
