Got your save in the email. The names.dat file is corrupted, upwards of 90% of the data in it is missing, so the game replaces the missing first/last name data with "Jim" and "Unknown". Easy to fix, though: just go to the \quickstart_games\Current.quick folder and copy the names.dat file in it into your save folder, replacing the broken version there. That'll restore the names back to normal.
