You should.

Begin by using loops to get the names, to build the new name, and to
print it. Then once you're satisfied with it, try to write the method
to do it. Study the error messages in Netbeans if any, read the
javadoc, read again the lesson about static methods, and only
thereafter post par of your code, so that the forum's members help
you.

Because that's the purpose of a program, never repeat something. Say
the assignements were to get the 10M names and construct one name with
it, would you write 10M times String foo = bar; etc...?
