checking if input1 and input2 is in list of strings-CodePudding

I am trying to print names that equal to inputs

for example :

if input1 = 'A' and input2 = 'G' 
    print("Arsalan Ghasemi")

so my code works but for some names it's not working

if input = 'S' and second input = 'S' again it will print 3 names that has 'S' in it even they are lowercases

here my code

names = ['Arsalan Ghasemi', 'Ali Bahonar', 'Negin Soleimani', 'Farzaneh Talebi', 'Sina Ghahremani',
         'Saman Sorayaie', 'Abtin Tavanmand', 'Masoud Jahani', 'Roya Pendar', 'Zeynab Arabi',
         'Amirhossein Tajbakhsh', 'Aria Irani']


def names_with_input(input1, input2):
    for i in range(len(names)):
        if input1.upper() in names[i] and input2.upper() in names[i]: 
            print(names[i])

first = input('Enter first letter: ')
last = input('Enter last letter: ')

names_with_input(first, last)

I thought it's only check upper cases but seems it's not how I can fix this when inputs are 'S' and 'S', it should only give me 'Saman Sorayaie'

You may need to check the first character of each string separated by the space between name and surname:

names = ['Arsalan Ghasemi', 'Ali Bahonar', 'Negin Soleimani', 'Farzaneh Talebi', 'Sina Ghahremani',
         'Saman Sorayaie', 'Abtin Tavanmand', 'Masoud Jahani', 'Roya Pendar', 'Zeynab Arabi',
         'Amirhossein Tajbakhsh', 'Aria Irani']


def names_with_input(input1, input2):
    for i in range(len(names)):
        s = names[i].split(" ")
        if input1.upper() == s[0][0] and input2.upper() == s[1][0]: 
            print(names[i])

first = input('Enter first letter: ')
last = input('Enter last letter: ')

names_with_input(first, last)

Output:

Enter first letter: A
Enter last letter: T
Abtin Tavanmand
Amirhossein Tajbakhsh

        if input1.upper() == n1[0] and input2.upper() == n2[0]: 
            print(n)
            break

first = input('Enter first letter: ')
last = input('Enter last letter: ')
