How to specify which contact to use from related contacts on account

I have 2 contacts with role economic buyer related to an account. I want to use the contacts last names as part of a naming convention for an opportunity, eg, Smith & Lee.

I can get the last name from contact 1, but is there a way of using the last name of contact 2, 3, etc as well?

Thanks, Robbie

How are you currently fetching the Last Name from Contact 1?

I'm getting contact 1 last name via Account contact relationship > Contact ID > Last Name.

This always points to the contact listed first though. If I repeat the syntax it gets Contact 1 again, so the result is Smith & Smith, not Smith & Lee.

If contacts are set up as follows:
Contact 1 = John Smith
Contact 2 = Ken Lee

I would like to get Smith & Lee.

Are you currently using apex code to fetch the contact's last name? I'm asking for clarity so I know whether or not I can just update your current method or if I need to introduce a completely new course of action.

Hi, I've been using process builder. I'm new to salesforce to still working things out. I was also thinking about how a flow might do the job. Thanks

Would you mind showing the logic on pulling the contact last name in the process builder?
