If you have access to Mailman's command line tools, save the following
script (between the dashed lines) in Mailman's bin/ directory with
name remove_names.py and then run the command

 bin/withlist -l -a -r remove_names

-----------------------------------------------------
def remove_names(mlist):
    if not mlist.Locked():
        mlist.Lock()
    for member in mlist.getMembers():
        mlist.setMemberName(member, u'')
    mlist.Save()
    mlist.Unlock()
-----------------------------------------------------

If you don't have access to do this, you would have to do it manually
through the admin Membership List pages.
