# How to Split Full Name into First Name and Last Name on Public Booking Page?

By default, the Cal ID booking page has a single **full name** field. Sometimes you'd rather capture **first name** and **last name** separately — here's how.

| Split the name field

1. Open the event type, click **Edit**, and go to the **Advanced** tab.
2. In **Booking questions**, click **Edit** next to the **Your name** field.

3. Toggle **Split "Full name" into "First name" and "Last name"**.

5. Click **Save** at the top right of the event type. The public page now shows separate first- and last-name fields.

| Effect on the Booking API

With the name split, the API `responses` object changes `name` from a string to an object:

```
"responses": {
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "john.doe@example.com"
}
```

becomes

```
"responses": {
    "name": {
        "firstName": "John",
        "lastName": "Doe"
    },
    "email": "john.doe@example.com"
}
```
