The Romans actually had three main names. The first, the praenomen, was the given name (such as Sextus or Lucius; or Mary or John in English). There were actually very few praenomina to choose from in Roman society; the list numbers as few as forty. The second name, the nomen, was the clan name of the Romans- it told others where that person was from. Some common nomina were Julius, Cornelius, and Claudius. The third name, the cognomen, is a very complicated topic. Basically, it began as a nickname or personal name that distinguished individuals with the same names (if there were two Sextus Cornelii, then one might be Sextus Cornelius Clemens and the other might be Sextus Cornelius Collatinus, although the cognomen was sometimes derived from the nomen. In short, the praenomen (given name or first name) actually did come first. ~freevortex

How insert data into array in php?
There's several ways: 1) You can put square brackets on the end of a variable to create an array key inside that variable: $names['first'] = "john" $names['last'] = "smith" 2) You can use the array function: $names = array('first' => "john", 'last => "smith"); a lot of people set this function out like this: $names = array( 'first' => "john", 'last' => "smith" ); it makes it easier to read hope this helps

Do you have to have a first name?
Basically, your first name IS your name. In many countries, fixed last names were only introduced in the early 19th century. In Iceland people still don't have 'real' last names. You are legally called "Peter .....son" of "Marie ....dottir", de dots being filled out with the person's first name whose son or daughter you are. It is the same system that old England had, look only at the many Johnsons in the phone book. Same thing in Eastern Europe, where in many countries most last names have the meaning of 'son of' and 'daughter of'. Russia does have fixed last names, but you always address people by their first name, followed by the first name of his or her father. Vladimir Putin for instance is never addressed by his fellow Russians as "mister Putin", but as "Vladimir Vladimirovich" (Vladimir son of Vladimir").
