Any ideas?

Christopher,

The name fields are being copied to the radio, you just haven't
changed the Memory Display Format from FREQ to NAME to display the
names.

You can either set menu 21 (MDF-A) and/or menu 22 (MDF-B) to NAME (the
choices are CHannel, NAME and FREQuency) to display the channel name.
Or better yet, you can set it using CHIRP.

Settings -> Basic Settings -> Display Mode (A): Name
Settings -> Basic Settings -> Display Mode (B): Name
