The exercise is to write a java class (program) called generateNewName with a main method. You don't have to write seperate method called generateNewName to do it. Your logic is alright, just need a bit of refining, use a loop to process the names. Also, I think the exercise asks for the full name, so you need to split the full name to get each first name.
