1099 Filing - DBA name versus Tax name

In our annual 1099 processing this year, we discovered a couple of vendors that had a different doing business as (DBA) name compared to their tax filing name. Is there a field/setup/etc that can have the tax filing name fill-in when running the 1099 forms instead of the DBA?

For example, we could be paying PH Consulting, but it is a sole proprietorship of Phil Hughes and Mr. Hughes would be the tax filing name. When we run the 1099s, PH Consulting comes up as the payee instead of Mr. Hughes.

The solution that I have come up with is that the vendor card name should be Mr. Hughes and we set up a remittance address for the DBA name.
