Hover your mouse pointer over the lower right corner of the cell with the
formula. I am assuming C1.

You will see a black cross appear. Click on that and drag the cell down the
column until you get to 554.

The formula will change to =A2 & " " & B2, then =A3 & " " & B3

Or just double-click on the fill handle(black square at lower right) to
increment down the column.

If you don't see a black cross or fill handle, go to ToolsOptionsEdit "Allow
drag and drop".

I don't know if I'm doing it right because so far, it hasn't worked. It will
change the 1st one ok but do I copy the same formula for all 554 names I
have? I must be doing something wrong.

Insert a column right of B.

Enter this formula in C1

=A1 & " " & B1

Copy down column C as far as you need.

Select Column C and copy. Then Paste SpecialValueOKEsc.

Delete Columns A and B.
