Clear out everything on your phone, then goto myphone.microsoft.com and log in. On the left side, click on "Archive" goto your contacts, then select all, then click on the "Restore" button. This will bring your contacts back to be sync'ed with your phone. Repeat for calender. Then run myphone from your phone, and sync. This will bring back all your contacts and calendar events, but will also include those contacts with no names.
For whatever reason, if you have more than 1 sync source (I use 3, actually), things tend to get screwy. This will restore everything that was sync'ed in the past, but you may have to manually clear out those contacts without names. I recommend doing that from Outlook, then syncing the phone with activesync, then going back to myphone, and back into archives, where the contacts without names will be, and deleting those. Then sync with google.
Also, I recommend doing it this way, but alternatively, you could do the following: Go to myphone.microsoft.com, log in, then check to see if your contacts are in archives. If so, go back to your live contacts, delete all, then go back to archive, select all, restore, then calendar, restore, then sync. The only reason why I don't recommend doing it this way is because if anything goes screwy, you could lose all your contacts. By doing it the original way, all your contacts, including your extraneous ones, will be saved in outlook for you to go through and clear out manually.
