Last Name= Surname

In Canada, its very rare to have a last name (surname) with a space. a dash '-' is usually used. So your first name is considered to be Nirmal and Last name= Babu, everything in between is your middle name (which can then be split into second and third name).

Its confusing but thats how north american names are written and how their systems are designed to handle them. Indian naming conventions are strange here. for e.g. You have to have a last name/ surname in North american for anything but India can give you a passport without a surname/ last name. strange!

If you wanted your entire last name, you should have written it as Prakash-Babu
