might be just as easy to write your own custom method for this:

function generateNameList ()
{
    $conditions = null;
    $fields = 'id,first_name,last_name';
    $people = $this->Person->findAll ($conditions, $fields);
    $return = array();
    foreach ($people as $person)
    {
        $return[$person['Person']['id'] =
$person['Person']['first_name'].' '.$person['Person']['last_name'];
    }
    return $return;
}
