Sorry. It works in an minimal example, now I must find out, why it  
doesn't in my real case...

One small error remains: I get "Aaaa– Bbbb" instead of "Aaaa–Bbbb" (a  
space before the second name). Where does it come from?

Example (don't know how to generate random names...):

\starttext

\definemarking[MNam]
\setupheadertexts[][{\getmarking[MNam][first]–\getmarking[MNam][last]}]
\def\Name#1{\bf #1\expanded{\marking[MNam]{\FirstNCharacters{4}{#1}}}}

\starttabulate
\dorecurse{200}{\NC \Name{Eins \recurselevel} \NC Zwei \NC Drei \NC\NR 
\HL}
\stoptabulate

\stoptext
