Fuzzy match on names

Anybody have experience with fuzzy matching with sql server fulltext indexes on names like searching for Bob Thornton would return results like Bobby Thornton?

I guess Lucene.Net and Solr could be used for this as well but nice to do it all in the database.

Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure whether this counts as 'all in the database', but SSIS has a fuzzy matching block which provides this functionality.
