Alternatively you can use built-in CSV library to avoid any complications with parsing csv files:

import csv
with open('names.csv') as csvfile:
    reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile)
    for row in reader:
        file_name ='{0}.txt'.format(row['first_name'])

        with open(file_name, 'w') as f:
            pass

This should do what you need on python 3.6

with open('file.csv') as f:       # Open file with hundreds of rows 
    for name in f.read().split('\n'):  # Get list of all names
        with open(f'{name.strip()}.txt', 'w') as s:  # Create file per name
            pass
