There's a cultural divide here. Even in different English-cultures: 
given-name, fore-name, surname, family-name, etc. (multiply-rapidly when 
adding other languages and their cultures!)

Given your own (email) name, are you familiar with the question's terms: 
first-name and last-name?

Whilst this (is the only thing we can see that) gives a clue, none of 
the other sample data (reproduced) will help such understanding.

It might help (us, to help you) to include (the core of) the 
course-assignment with a question. Looking at the sample data, the 
specification *must* (surely) include mention of more than the label, 
the colon, the two names, and the comma-separator!

BTW there is no crime/embarrassment in mentioning that it is a 
course-assignment. We're happy to help introduce you/others to Python, 
and the more information you give us, the better we can help your 
learning-progress!
