Just use named parameters (see python reference)
container.send_to_database(CName=CName, email=email, phone=phone)

the funny double naming comes from the fact your local variables happen
to have the same name. This is not a must of course.

This is very wrong and dangerous! I'd suggest you read the relevant
section of the zope book again! Use

insert into name_table (CName, email, phone)
values (<dtml-sqlvar CName type=string>, <dtml-sqlvar email type=string>,
<dtml-sqlvar phone type=string>)

Which does the right quoting for you. Also any SQLxx complient database
would complain about the double quoutes around your strings anyway.
