Dear Shane,
It's possible by the core code modification only. Since you will need to replace the username profile question value with the composed value from your other two fields: First and Last Name - this will be a quite complicated modification which affects a lot of functionality.
All we can suggest is to check the following file (and all methods which are used in this file ) to see how the join works: /ow_system_plugins/base/controllers/join.php
