Lookup Account and Open Record
Under Contacts - click on List link > land on Contact Associated View
Add New Contact > Enter Data > Save
Click on name of new contact > Page appears to refresh
First Name changes to Last Name

Since users are typically not noticing this and updating the record on the page, then Save creates a user where last name and first name are the same

    Hi sandeep,

    Your system may have JavaScript or a plugin that copies Last Name to First Name.  Please evaluate the code.

    Hi Sandeep,

    Full name field is a special composite field. It shows a concatenation of first name, last name, and/or middle name. In system settings, you can change the display format.
