When you're saying Name1, Name2, etc. do you really mean FieldName1, FieldName2, etc.?
If yes, you may try something like
select aa.Name1, bb.Address1 from MyTable aa inner join MyTable.bb ;
on aa.Pk = bb.PK ;
union all ;
select aa.Name2, bb.Address1 from MyTable aa inner join MyTable.bb ;
on aa.Pk = bb.PK ;
union all ;
select aa.Name3, bb.Address1 from MyTable aa inner join MyTable.bb ;
on aa.Pk = bb.PK
etc.
You may construct this statement by looping through aFields...

>Record 3: name3+company1+address1
>Record 4: name1+company2+address1
>Record 5: name2+company2+address1
>Record 6: name3+company2+address1
>Record 7: name1+company1+address2
>Record 8: name2+company1+address2
>Record 9: name3+company1+address2
>Record10: name1+company2+address2
>Record11: name2+company2+address2
>Record12: name3+company2+address2

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
