How do I remove the "name" field in sign up?

Hi all,
I want to remove the
"Your Name* -Your First & Last name"

field located in the templates/signup.html .However when I take out that cell in the html file it gives and error every time someone tries to sign up.

Can anyone help me to do this?

Code:

[B]<tr>
    <th width="40%">#_TPL_SIGNUP_NAME# *<br />
    <div class="small">#_TPL_SIGNUP_NAME_1#</div></th>
    <td nowrap="nowrap"><input type="text" name="name_f" value="{$smarty.request.name_f|escape}" size="15" />
        <input type="text" name="name_l" value="{$smarty.request.name_l|escape}" size="15" />
    </td>
</tr>[/B]

I don't remember the error since I redo the change since the error.
I am suspecting amember is expecting a value from these two fields. Can I set a value for it by my self

for example first name: Name1 , Last name: Name2 ?


Thank you for your reply

I actually had no name in my signup but I didn't save the alterations I made to the signup.php template. I wish some one can help me to do that again because I was doing it by trial and error and don't remember what i did at all.

Thanks again
