That is apparently another lose end off the wole mess....

There is no field in the phplist_user_user table to save name fields for subscribers.

two ways for a solution:

1) add such a field

2) remove the "name" feature.

in case of 2) it could be replaced with either information from the civicrm and/or the Drupal data.

Please remove the name feature at a later date.. This is deferred until next release..
