I have a couple of questions:

I find it a bit odd that Kira has significantly better health than my Knight. Am I doing something wrong, or are companions meant to serve as shields?

Is there some trick to having last names? During character creation I couldn't get the game to accept any two-part name I came up with, so I assumed you could only have one. But I've seen players with surnames.
Some of them are. There are five companion types in the game - Kira might be one of the tanking classes. Some examples:

Ranged Tank (Kaliyo, Pierce)
Melee Tank (Khem Val, Qyzen)
Ranged DPS (Vette, Gault)
Melee DPS (Jaesa)
Healer (Mako, Doc)
