This is because that client requested NAMES with 2 or more channels listed.

When using the NAMES command you can only specify 1 channel. This person would have tried doing NAMES #channel1,#channel2

so /names is the replacement basically for /who #channel yes ?

No, those commands will give 2 different results.

NAMES will give a list of users in the channel.

WHO will give you a list based on parameters specified, and include additional information such as realname, user@host, and flags based on the users modes.
