I would like to export notes as individual text files, and have these files automatically named as <date created>-<Name>. Is this possible?

Thanks, Johnnie. If I understand correctly, that will change the name of the Note, but not the name of the exported file, which defaults to "exported file".

Thanks, Mark. But this applies to html export, and not text export, correct? I was looking for a solution for exporting as text.
And any feedback on my question regarding export of individual text files (instead of the default behavior, where exported notes are coalesced into a single file)?

The term HTML Export is effectively a method for exporting marked-up text with HTML being the default mark-up. But you can as easily export text file.  If you're exporting via Nakakoji view, then I don't think there is a filename attribute - you supply it when you export. Nakakoji always exports a single file - with the contents depending on the scope of notes you select in the export pane.

If you want to export plain text files, i.e. '.txt', files that you'll need to set the HTMLExportExtension to 'txt'. also use templates that don't insert HTML. Don't take the 'HTML' part of HTML export too literally.

If none of this makes sense it might help if you explained, simply, for what purpose you want output.  By al means offer up a demo TBX of source and an a file simulating the output you want.  It's likely to be possible.

If sharing source data is too sensitive to post in the forum, by all means contact me (email button in my forum profile) so you can discuss the problem in a less public context. I'd only ask that if we get a solution, the generalities of the solution can be shared with fellow users (using made-up specimen data).

Try Automator.  If you export your files with a token where you want the space (e.g., ##) then you can make a workflow in Automator (with the Rename Finder Items action) that replaces the token ## with a space or whatever.  Save the workflow as a folder action attached to your output folder, and whatever is put there will automatically have the text replacement applied to it.
