I have noticed the blank labels for first/last name as well. It looks like it happens when you're using ActiveForum comments, and you're pointing to a common Article display. in the settings for that module if you set first name, last name, email, etc collection option to 'None', they still show, with blank labels for name fields. In the case of ActiveForums comments, I don't think they should show anyway...assuming you're using authentication for the forums.
