converting lead to person account

So we have a lead convert class that is now throwing a Cannot Insert Update error. It says that is is Unable to create/Update field: Name. Below is a part of the code that i believe is the issue but im not 100% sure on how to tweak it so that it doesnt try to place first and last name into the name field but doesnt break the code.
  
if(leadsToConvert.size()>0){
            List<Database.LeadConvertResult> results = Database.convertLead( leadsToConvert, false);
            List<Account> accountsToUpdate = new List<Account>();
            for(Database.LeadConvertResult result : results){
                lead l = leadIdMap.get(result.getLeadId());
                if(result.success && result.getAccountId()!=null){
                    String name = ((l.FirstName!=null)?l.FirstName+' '+l.LastName:l.LastName);
                    if(name!=null){
                        accountsToUpdate.add(new Account(Id=result.getAccountId(), name = name));
                    }
                }
                else{
                    for(Database.Error error : result.getErrors()){
                        l.addError(error.getMessage());
                    }
                }
            }

Any help or thoughts is grately appreciated.

Hi Ivan,

Can you try with this below sample code:-

 

TriggerOnConvertLeads Trigger:-

trigger TriggerOnConvertLeads on Lead (after insert, after update) {
    List<lead> leadList = trigger.new;
    Set<ID> leadIds= new Set<ID>();
    for(lead leadRecord : leadList) {
        if (leadRecord.Status == ‘Qualified’ && leadRecord.isConverted == false){
              
             leadIds.add(leadRecord.Id);
        }
    //system.debug('size'+ leadIds.size());
    if(leadIds.size()  > 0){
              ConvertLeads.LeadAssign(leadIds);
    }
}

ConvertLeads class:-  
Public class ConvertLeads
{
   
    public static void LeadAssign(Set<Id> LeadIds)
    {
       LeadStatus CLeadStatus= [SELECT Id, MasterLabel FROM LeadStatus 
       WHERE  IsConverted=true Limit 1];
      
        List<Database.LeadConvert> MassLeadconvert = new List<Database.LeadConvert>();
        for(id currentlead : LeadIds){
                Database.LeadConvert Leadconvert = new Database.LeadConvert();
                Leadconvert.setLeadId ( currentlead );                
                Leadconvert.setConvertedStatus(CLeadStatus.MasterLabel);
                Leadconvert.setDoNotCreateOpportunity(TRUE); 
                //you can remove this line if you want to create an opportunity during  conversion 
                MassLeadconvert.add(Leadconvert);
        }
        
        if (!MassLeadconvert.isEmpty()) {
            List<Database.LeadConvertResult> lcr = Database.convertLead(MassLeadconvert);
        }
    }}
