How to print just value to label from textbox in winforms?

I'm writing a name generator, and want to add functionality to add new names and surnames to database, but when I'm trying to print values added after running program, I got whole path. For example: I want to add name John. When generator picks John it's printing Windows.Forms.TextBox, Text:John instead of just name. How can I fix this? Here's the code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace NameGen
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Generate gen = new Generate();
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void StartGenerate(object sender, EventArgs e)
    { 
        lblWynik.Text = Generate.NameGen() + " " + Generate.SurnameGen();
        Console.WriteLine("Generating: " + lblWynik.Text);
    }

    private void AddName(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Generate.LName.Add(NameBox.ToString());
        Console.WriteLine("Adding new name to index " + NameBox);
        NameBox.Clear();
    }

    private void AddSurname(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {  
        Generate.LSurname.Add(SurnameBox.ToString());
        Console.WriteLine("Adding new surname to index " + SurnameBox);
        SurnameBox.Clear();
    }
}

public class Generate
{
    static string[] Name = new string[] { "Hank", "Terrence", "Darin", "Alf" };
    static string[] Surname = new string[] { "Cooper", "Trump", "Białkov", "Obama" };

    public static List<string> LName = new List<string>();
    public static List<string> LSurname = new List<string>();
    static Random random = new Random();

    public static string NameGen()
    {
        LName.AddRange(Name);
        int NameIndex = random.Next(LName.Count);
        return LName[NameIndex];
    }

    public static string SurnameGen()
    {
        LSurname.AddRange(Surname);
        int NameIndex = random.Next(LSurname.Count);
        return LSurname[NameIndex];
    }
}

To get the text of a TextBox you should use Text property of TextBox. For example: Generate.LName.Add(NameBox.Text);

Now you are using ToString method of TextBox which returns the type name and the text.
