I need to use my address book to do a Mail Merge. My column Header is Name and I need to change it to two columns reading First Name and Last Name so if I wish to address my client by his first name in a letter I can do so

Internally, if you look at a contact's details, you'll see that the address book offers separate first and last name fields.

If you export an address book to a csv file, then you also see separate first name and last name fields.

So, i don't think you have a problem. You need to discover the two keys you need to use in your mail merge to access these discrete parts of a contact's name.

And, indeed, the page for Thunderbird's mail merge add-on shows how it is done.
