Guys,

I just ran the same query for Export process using Data loader and successfully extracted the Contact records with the Account Names as well!!

So, I am sure this will work for you. No need to get into further hassles when the Data loader already does it for you;)

Well, did u try writing a relationship SOQL query?

Its like-

Select Name, Account.Name from Contact limit 1;

Here, you are directly getting the "Name" field from account. For any custom relationship, use "relationName__r.fieldName__c"  to get the parent fields in the same query!

As far as I have seen, the data loader does not understand relationships (i.e. "select id,account.name from contact" and "select id,(select id,firstname,lastname from contact) from account"). You should export each table individually and merge them in an external application, like MySQL, or use a tool that understands relationships (I believe the Sforce Explorer app does, but I have never used it). Finally, you can always use the reporting tool built in to Salesforce to simply export the records if you're dealing with a one-time export/migration.
