Thunderbird only shows the recipients first name in addresses

When add an address to a message I am sending, Thunderbird puts the text "First_Name <email@server.com>" in the "To:" field. This occurs even though the person appears in my address book with both first and last name (in separate fields). If I look for the same person in the address book, they show up in a column labeled "Name" which contains both first and last name.

Also, is there a way to search for a phrase in Mozilla support? Searching for 'first name' and '"first name"' (i.e. both with and without quotes around the search phrase) return exactly the same results. On most sites I've used double quote marks in a search phrase indicate that the indicated words should appear in order in the search results.
