Hello @CourtneyE54 ,

 

If you're needing a contact's first name for the sake of personalization aspects of your emails, you may want to consider making that a required field on your sign-up forms. Otherwise, subject line personalization allows for a secondary term if the selected name field isn't applicable to the contact.
