Although I've never created such a GEDCOM without AKAs, this should be what you are asking for:
On the GEDCOM Export window, click the "Customize" button on the lower right. Then on the next window, put a check mark in the EXCLUDE Alternate Names towards the bottom of that window. TIP: If you do this frequently, you might want to click the SAVE LIST button after excluding items or whatever else you have customized. Then next time simply click on LOAD LIST and you won't have to remember all those things.

The trouble starts again when an individual has an aka (or 2 or 3). For each aka I still get the same three Name-Surname-Given Name lines. I can't find the GEDCOM tags that cause this in order to delete them. Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it for aka's?
