(little) problem merging columns

Hello,

I am not an Excel expert and would love a little help:

I have a very basic table with only 3 columns: keywords, names, and production stages. I need some kind of action that simply combines the first two columns; is it possible with Excel? We already tried something, but Excel keeps cropping the kids' names (second column).

For example,

ORIGINAL FIELDS

nicer liam print
nicer charlotte design
kinder amalia design
kinder ava print
nicer michael print

SHOULD BECOME

nicerliam print
nicercharlotte design
kinderamalia design
kinderava print
nicermichael print

BUT BECAME

nicerliam print
nicerchar design
kinderama design
kinderava print
nicermich print

Does anyone have any idea why it is happening?
Thank you!!

Thank you all so much
We decided to create a new file from scratch and simply paste the original data. Your formulas worked perfectly!

Thank you!!
