I accidentally blocked a name/email address that came up as a suggestion when composing a new email.

By "blocked" do you mean you clicked the little "x" that appears to the right of the auto-suggestions for that contact?  If so the only way to "undo" that is to:

1. Make sure you have (or had) set the gear->settings->writing email->Automatically add new recipients to Contacts.
2. Delete the contact from your list of contacts.
3. Compose and send the email to that recipient.  This will recreate the contact in the contacts list which you can then edit with additional details you had before you deleted it.

At this point that contact should be back in your auto-suggest list.

I've followed these steps several times, and it is adding the contact info I need after sending an email to that person, however, it will not bring that name up when I start typing it in the "To:" field of a new email. Any thoughts? Thanks much for the help.

Just sent you that info. Thanks much for the help!

Should work.  I verified it before writing that post above.  Maybe you need to type a few more letters since it might be in a different position in the auto suggest list.
