First name and last name (3 &amp; 4) with the address is okay.

The name at the top is the name of the user.
The first/last name in the address area is for the address.
They might not always be the same.

You can remove the code Code:

&lt;tr class="hikashop_registration_name_line"&gt; &lt;td class="key"&gt; &lt;label id="namemsg" for="register_name"&gt; &lt;?php echo JText::_( 'HIKA_USER_NAME' ); ?&gt; &lt;/label&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="data[register][name]" id="register_name" value="&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;escape($this-&gt;mainUser-&gt;get( 'name' ));?&gt;" class="inputbox required" maxlength="50" /&gt; * &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;

from the file "registration" of the view "user" via the menu Display-&gt;Views if you want to remove the first name field. It will be filled automatically with the address first/last name.

As this post is 1 year old you should probably not have to do this except if you are using the same version for 1 year without updating.

In this cas, as Xavier said, the file is:

> from the file "registration" of the view "user" via the menu Display-&gt;Views if you want to remove the first name field. It will be filled automatically with the address first/last name.

But I would suggest to update to the latest version, it's a safer option.
