that's not quite there...yet at least. There's no option for wildcard expansion for basename the last time i checked. (if there is, then pardon me for my ignorance)
Code:
# basename  Agnes.SpeechVoice  .SpeechVoice
Agnes
# basename  *SpeechVoice  .SpeechVoice
basename: extra operand `.SpeechVoice'
Try `basename --help' for more information.
# basename  *.SpeechVoice  .SpeechVoice
basename: extra operand `.SpeechVoice'
Try `basename --help' for more information.
# basename  *.SpeechVoice
Agnes.SpeechVoice

basename

basename(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 					      basename(3C)

NAME

       basename - return the last element of a path name

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libgen.h>

       char *basename(char *path);

DESCRIPTION

       The  basename()	function  takes the pathname pointed to by path and returns a pointer to the final component of the pathname, deleting any
       trailing '/' characters.

       If the string consists entirely of the '/' character, basename() returns a pointer to the string "/" .

       If path is a null pointer or points to an empty string, basename() returns a pointer to the string "." .

RETURN VALUES

       The basename() function returns a pointer to the final component of path.

USAGE

       The basename() function may modify the string pointed to by path, and may return a pointer to static storage that may then  be  overwritten
       by a subsequent call to basename().

       When  compiling multithreaded applications, the _REENTRANT flag must be defined on the compile line.  This flag should only be used in mul-
       tithreaded applications.
