Jeff, thanks for the explanation. The fact that the “Full Name” field is the source for the first and last name fields in the backend is exactly the sort of information I was hoping to learn from my query.

What confuses me, though, is that all students were required to complete the profile as they registered, and all of them show a full name in the members list, so clearly, each student entered a first and last name there. It seems that for some reason the Full Name field didn’t get parsed for all the students.
