SharePoint - Combine first and last name with a calculated column

I created a SharePoint list for a customer to enter the staff details of a marketing department. The owner of the site wanted to add the first and last name. I thought it would be easy to automatically fill a column with the full name, based at first and last name. This is actually really easy! Just create a new calculated column and use one of the following formulas:

Carlos	Carvallo	=[Column1]&[Column2]	Combines the two strings (CarlosCarvallo)
Carlos	Carvallo	=[Column1]&" "&[Column2]	Combines the two strings, separated by a space (Carlos Carvallo)
Carlos	Carvallo	=[Column2]&", "&[Column1]	Combines the two strings, separated by a comma and a space (Carvallo, Carlos)
Carlos	Carvallo	=CONCATENATE([Column2], ",", [Column1])	Combines the two strings, separated by a comma (Carvallo,Carlos)
