Exactly what has been done is not clear. For example
DMPC_mono_sybyl.mol2 contains only 1 nitrogen atom
Telmisartan_charged_resp.prep contains 4 nitrogen atoms
telmi.pdb contains 4 nitrogen atoms
telmi_amber.pdb contains 5 nitrogen atoms

antechamber should have an option to prevent atom name changes, but
it does not.
As I recall, antechamber serializes all atom names when creating prep
files; and the input format is immaterial.
For example, telmi.pdb has N2, N1, N, and N3 atom names;
Telmisartan_charged_resp.prep has N3, N2, N1, and N4 atom names.
(If you use prepc format then you can verify which was which by comparing
the Cartesian coordinates.)
For example, DMPC_mono_resp.prep has C1, ..., C36.
DMPC_mono_sybyl.mol2 has CN1, ..., CA, C2A, C2B, ...
(in other words names that are completely unconventional relative to proteins).

One way to avoid problems is to use antechamber to create all files
(including initial pdb and gaussian input files).
But antechamber should have an option to prevent atom name changes.

The simplest approach is to redo what you have done starting from
fresh input files that have already been made antechamber safe.
(I think I have done this via a pdb to pdb antechamber run or maybe
I had to do pdb to prepc to pdb. Sorry extraneous issues prevent me
from tracking this down today.)
Alternatively, you could transform the names of atoms in
your files so that they are consistent,
maybe with the help of the prepc format; but this could be
a dangerous approach, attention to detail is critical.
If there are a small number of atom name changes then simply recording
the mappings in your lab notebook and applying them manually may be
adequate.
