Try this:

[2] Click Library > Library Maintenance > Check Library and then let Calibre thoroughly check your library, show you what is wrong, and then fix it. Repeat this step as many times as needed until your library is "clean".
[3] Using Bulk Edit Metadata for 100% of your books, "Automatically Set Author Sort", "Change Title to Title Case", and then finally "Update Title Sort".
[4] Using the Quality Check plug-in, standardize the Author Names as FN LN or LN,FN (your choice), but make all of the books comply with your choice.
[5] Using the Quality Check plug-in, standardize the Author Initials.
[6] Run Find Duplicates again.
