That does not seem to be the case with the iphone, every entry in the 
GAL showed as "No Name" until I added the firstname, lastname mappings.
Other addressbook entries were OK, only GAL entries had the "No Name" 
problem.

I got the hint to add firstname, lastname from another site unrelated to 
Horde:

"iPhone 3.0: GAL query search shows display name as "No Name" in search 
result."
"This is due to the fact that iPhone does not use the Display Name to 
generate the output, but relies instead on First and Last name fields..."
