CCK/views - How can I reference in a CCK field some selected field from other nodes?

Hi everybody, I'm still rather heavily a newbie in Drupal, so I'd like to ask to some CCK/Views expert if there is a way to do this:

I have created a custom content type called people to store info about people, like First Name, Second Name and so on.
Well first of all as I need to sort both by first name and second name, I needed two text fields and I used the Title of my custom content type (as I can not disable this requested field) for the second name, and then added a second text field for the first name.

So my first question:
1) Is there another solution to have First Name and Second Name as two CCK text fields, and avoiding to have a title for the node?

The second and BIGGER problem is that I have to create a second custom content type called event to store events, that must have people as fields (relator, guest, speaker, and so on). So I have to reference the people content type.
But for the input of these referencing fields, I want a dropdown list, showing a list of couples of "Name - Second Name", coming from the people content type.

I tryed using a node reference field advanced settings to select a view, and in this view I made a query on the people content type, selecting the two field I am interested in.
This way the dropdown list I want, does show up correctly, BUT when submitting the event, in the created event node there are not the name and second name I need, but just the node title I referenced with a link to itself. :-(

So:
2) How can I reference a node and have some fields of this node to be put in the field of the node I am creating?

I hope I've been clear in exposing my problem and sorry for being long.

Thank you!
