It is always better to have them as separate fields. It is very common to sort on last names and if there was a field which held the first name and last name in one field instead of two separate fields, it would not be possible to do that. If you take a phone book, the entries are always sorted by the last name. So in a properly designed database the first name and last name should always be separate fields.
No, Asbury and Germaine are separate last names.

"Lucas" is a French first name, but first names have sometimes turned last names, so it's possible.Using first names as last names is the closest thing to the "Peterson" or "Petersen" equivalent for French, since we don't have this "son of Peter" notation.
well, the Chinese names arent like ours.they still have first and last names but the last name comes first when they are first born. ex. Americans: Harry CookChinese:Cook Harry
Brazilian have a first name, for example Mary, the last name from their mother, let's say Smith and the last name from their father, for example Brown. So the child's name is Mary Smith Brown. It is always like this: a first name, the last name from mom and last name from dad. A middle name is optional some people have, some people don't. In Brazil you can name your child Mary Elisabeth Smith Brown or Mary Rose Smith Brown or just Mary Smith Brown. Note that Smith and Brown are her surnames. Brazilian have two surnames one from mom, one from dad. Usually we just use the last one that is from dad in most situations. So our Mary would present herself as Mary Brown.

In some areas of the middle-east people's last names were the first names of their biological dad.
Having two first names, like Eric Bruce, means that the individual is often identified by both names as if they were a single compound first name. In this case, Eric is the person's given first name, and Bruce is used alongside it, possibly from family tradition or personal preference.
