Update grid.php in the following location
 
Location: app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Newsletter/Subscriber/

find the function  protected function _prepareColumns()    {    and add the below


 $this->addColumn('subtitle', array(
            'header'    => Mage::helper('newsletter')->__('Subscriber Title'),
            'index'     => 'subscriber_title',
            'default'   =>    '----'
        ));
       
        $this->addColumn('subfirstname', array(
            'header'    => Mage::helper('newsletter')->__('Subscriber First Name'),
            'index'     => 'subscriber_firstname',
            'default'   =>    '----'
        ));
        $this->addColumn('sublastname', array(
            'header'    => Mage::helper('newsletter')->__('Subscriber Last Name'),
            'index'     => 'subscriber_lastname',
            'default'   =>    '----'
        ));








 


update the SubscriberController.php in the below location

Location for update: app/code/core/Mage/Newsletter/controllers/

 find the function    public function newAction()    { 

 and  replace

  $status = Mage::getModel('newsletter/subscriber')->subscribe($email);  

add the below

 if ($this->getRequest()->getPost('subtitle'))
                {
                     $subscriber = Mage::getModel('newsletter/subscriber')->loadByEmail($email);
                     $subtitle     = (string) $this->getRequest()->getPost('subtitle');
                     $subscriber->setSubscriberTitle($subtitle);
                   
                }
               

                 if ($this->getRequest()->getPost('subfirstname'))
                {
              
                     $subfirstname     = (string) $this->getRequest()->getPost('subfirstname');
                     $subscriber->setSubscriberFirstname($subfirstname);
                   
                }
                if ($this->getRequest()->getPost('sublastname'))
                {
                   
                     $sublastname     = (string) $this->getRequest()->getPost('sublastname');
                     $subscriber->setSubscriberLastname($sublastname);
                   
                }
           
                    $status = Mage::getModel('newsletter/subscriber')->subscribe($email,$subtitle, $subfirstname, $sublastname);
           



 

update the Subscriber.php in the below locations
 
Location : app/code/core/Mage/Newsletter/Model/

 find function  

public function subscribe($email) 

and replace 

public function subscribe($email,$subtitle=null, $subfirstname=null, $sublastname=null)

in this function find 

$this->setSubscriberEmail($email);


add below following

            $this->setSubscriberTitle($subtitle);
            $this->setSubscriberFirstname($subfirstname);
            $this->setSubscriberLastname($sublastname);

 

Finally update the magento database,

  Now open the magento database and open the "newsletter_subscribers".
 Add the extra column what you want fields in the newsletter. Here we added three fields like subscriber_title, subscriber_firstname, subscriber_lastname
