With the .name domains, all you can purchase/control is

doesn't touch our servers at first.  If I send an e-mail from
anthony(_at_)idmi(_dot_)net, which is my address and we run SPF, to
firstname(_at_)lastname(_dot_)name it first goes to the registrar's mail server
which forwards it AS anthony(_at_)idmi(_dot_)net to
firstname(_at_)firstname(_dot_)lastname(_dot_)name so we reject it because the 
foreign
mail server is trying to send mail as myself.  Convoluted, so I hope
that made more sense.

Just whitelist the registrar's mailserver on your system, so that SPF checks will not be applied to mail that is forwarded by the registrar.
