If you're travelling through Africa, that means you'll probably have a Carnet. And if you have a Carnet with a name that doesn't match that on the registration doco, you might have problems at borders. I'm not saying you will, but something to be aware of.
Exfoleyation: Egypt
The experience of these guys is about names on passports not matching names on the rest of the paperwork - they were delivering a vehicle to South Africa for someone who had bought it, thus the carnet was in his name and not theirs. They had to traipse all the way to Cairo to get the carnet overtyped with their names before the Egyptians would let them in.
But one can just imagine a bloody-minded customs official somewhere obscure making an issue out of something like this - if only as an excuse to extract un petit cadeau!
