Hello Ben,

It doesn't reverse the name (as required), which although you could
say "give me element 1 of each array to get the lastname", this doesn't
work with names such as "firstname middlename lastname" (like the OP
requested) :) because now the lastname is in element 2 so you'll have
to do some extra checking malarky to get it.
But yeah, there are a few million ways to skin this cat.
