'Seem to be'? In the Contacts window, if you have Tile view
(possibly with Preview pane showing), you can't tell whether the
First Name and Last Name fields are populated or not. Switch to List
view (on the View menu), click on the first column header and select
First Name, on the second Last Name and on the third Name. Are the
entries there or not in the first two columns?
If they are, the next thing to check is that the First Name and Last
Name fields are selected on the second page of the Export wizard.
Sorry to be pedantic about this, but I find it very unlikely that
you have the same fault on two different installations, so either
your data are incomplete or you're doing something wrong in the
export process.
