Algorith for comparing two names to see if the are similar/same

Question

I'm currently implemetning an automated workflow which has to compare a fixed name with another name and return if the name is a match or not. It should consider spelling/typo mistakes and implement a suitable algorithm like soundex/levensthein

Example fixed Name = Christopher Joel

Matches should for example be found for:

• Christopher Doe
• Joel
• Christopher Joel
• Christopker Joel

No matches should be found for:

• Marry Doe
• Christin

Maybe someone has already a suitable example for me? I thought about splitting all name parts and compare them individually, but I'm still usure here if this is the correct way.

Many thanks

I ended up using https://www.npmjs.com/package/fuzzball since this required no logic at all
