Surname and name?
........

Because unlike in the more advanced United States or Germany, the dog tags for the Romanian soldiers did not arrive from the factory with the unique I.D. pre-printed by an industrial press.
Marking the unique I.D. (name... whatever) was the owner's responsibility.

Take a look on this thread for the various shapes of the dog-tags in the Romanian Army during WWII: Rumanian Army Dog-Tag.
