Firstly you repeated first name twice yet there is need of First name and Last name. Variables do not start with a capital letter. Variables are written in camel case that is instead of leaving a space between two adjacent words, you write the first letter of the second word in capital case e.g. firstName, lastName, programmingForFun etc. try the following code and give me a shout if it helps.

First stage

String firstName = console.readLine("What is your first name:  ");

Second stage

String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name:  ");

third stage

console.printf("First name: %s \n", firstName);

fourth stage

console.printf("Last name: %s", lastName);
