Why doesn't my program cout the first word of the new last name?

Write your question here.
My program is supposed to print out any number of "new last names" separated by spaces. It prints out every single last name separated by a space except for the first one. I've tried using getline, but that makes it impossible to enter the last name. And if I just use cin I can only get the first last name and none of the others after the space. I'm going to post both code versions and say why they're wrong/don't work.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72
// this code produces every last name separated by a space except for the first // name
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
string Getfirstname(void )
{
string full_name, old_last_name;
cout << "Enter full name: " ;
cin >> full_name >> old_last_name;
return full_name;
}
string GetNewLastName(void )
{
string new_last_name;
cout << "Enter new last name: " ;
cin >> new_last_name;
getline (cin,new_last_name);
return new_last_name ;
}
int main()
{
string full_name = Getfirstname();
string new_last_name = GetNewLastName();
cout << full_name << new_last_name << endl;
return 0;
}
// this code only produces the first 'new last name' but not the rest after a // space
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string> // include string...
using namespace std;
string Getfirstname()
{
string full_name, old_last_name;
cout << "Enter full name: " ;
cin >> full_name >> old_last_name;
return full_name;
}
string GetNewLastName()
{
string new_last_name;
cout << "Enter new last name: " ;
cin >> new_last_name;
return new_last_name ;
}
int main()
{
string full_name = Getfirstname();
string new_last_name = GetNewLastName();
cout << full_name << " " <<new_last_name << endl; // added space between names
return 0;
}

Can you give an example of your desired output?

My desired output would be
Enter full name: John Doe
Enter new last name: Von Baron Duke
Your new name is : John Von Baron Duke
