I had the exact same problem, using my wifes account for 1 box -- I decided that the cost of a new account was low enough that I rather not risk it, so I got a new one and transfered the character(s) over.
What do you mean you transferred the character(s) over? You don't mean from your wifes account do you? I do not think that would work, I tried to transfer characters from two of my own accounts, one with "II" suffix and one without, I had to file a bunch of paperwork with blizz to get the suffix removed from that one account prior to being able to complete the transfer. None of my other 6 accounts have been set up with the suffix as a result, names need to match, at least the last name and suffix. I was told that an abbreviated first name isn't usually an issue.
Only the last names on an account have to match, not the first names.

As long the last surnames are an exact match, it goes through fine.
