SIPAddHeader() comes to mind. :-)

Yup I got that far :) I tried things like (with correct name & number):

exten => _1ZXXXXXXXXX,1,SipAddHeader(P-Asserted-Identity: "Global Minties Corp" <sip:19995551212@AST_BOX_FQDN>)

But that did not work as flowroute always sends "VOIP CALLER" and a ton of different numbers on outbound calls. So I guess I am doing something wrong but I can't figure out what.

You can't* set the outbound name.  That's defined in the national caller id name database that the receiving phone company dips into.  As far as I know, Flowroute does not add entries to this database, nor do they dip it when you receive a call to pass the caller ID name on inbound calls.  Other providers do.  

* - You may be able to set it if you're calling other users on the Flowroute network, I'm not sure.  But in general, once your call leaves the Flowroute network, the only way to get the CNAM info is from a CNAM dip to the national database (I don't recall the actual name).
