I'm not sure what you mean here. Which other function calls?
bbdb-complete-name works by searching through a hashed list of
possible completions, then testing which ones are duplicates, and
doing some other nonsense besides. Anything in the minibuffer tends to
work using a pre-constructed completion list. Which, I'm thinking as I
type this, isn't all that different. Hrm.
Oh, also, you need to frob the keymap of
message-mode/vm-mode/mail-mode or whatever in order for the above to
work. And you need to frob it so that each time you hit space or TAB,
it checks if you're in a "completion zone" such as the "To:" field or
whatever.
