Artboard name problem when exporting
When exporting files in image format the name of the first artboard aways differs from that of its subsequents, being outputed as "Untitled_Artboard 1" instead of "Untitled-01".
Given that every modification must be done "by hand", it turns out to be very exhausting.

Lucas, does it happen in every file or in this particular one?
Are you the author of this file of was it given to you by another user?The problem with names of layers in Ai is that the names get omitted on export in favor of numbers only if no changes were made to them manually. If you rename the layer and give it 'Artboard 1' name — it is considered renamed and now it has a defined name instead of an undefined one. This leads to the same exact behavior you describe, at least for me. There is no way to tell these names apart in the UI!
I reported and requested to address the problem here:
Make option for new artboards to track their names based on existing artboards
