Contact names not appearing in Messages and Contacts on new Mac

I just got this mac (neo) and I synced everything to Icloud and stuff but when I go to contacts or text messages,none of my contact names are there. I have my texts and stuff just not the names. Do I have to manually add names to my contacts?

Hi,

Try to check iCloud Contact Sync on Mac. Ensure Contacts is toggled On. If it was already on, toggle it off, wait 10 seconds, and turn it back on.
