Help Google Account/Gmail Contact Import Question

I realize that the Incredible will bring in your Gmail contacts during phone setup so I have all of them currently organized in Gmail as Last Name First Name in the single Name field as Gmail currently doesn't have two separate fields for first and last name.

Does the phone itself have fields for first and last name and if so does it make more sense to reorganize my Gmail contacts so the phone can recognize what is the first name and what is the last name?

Sorry for the noob question but this will be my first Android phone. Thanks in advance.

Same question...
is there a particular format that would be most beneficial?
Last Name, First Name
Last Name First Name
First Name Last Name
