Tried a different approach, wanting someone to help refactor

I tried a different approach, but wanting someone to help me refactor. Possibly using a function or something more streamlined. 

let firstName = prompt(`What's your first name?`);
let lastName = prompt(`What's your last name?`);

const fullName = [];

fullName.push(firstName);
fullName.push(lastName);

alert(`The string "${fullName.join(" ").toUpperCase()}" is ${fullName.join("").length} characters long.`);

const person = {
    firstName: prompt("What is your first name?"),
    lastName: prompt("What is your last name?"),
};
let fullName = (person.firstName+" "+person.lastName).toLocaleUpperCase()
alert(`The string ${fullName} is ${fullName.length-1} characters long!`);
