I tried this code in a different IDE and it worked just fine when I printed it, but I feel like I'm missing something small here.
full_name = "Tristan Bradford"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm " + name_list[0]

Courses Plus Student 7,863 PointsThe best way to do it would be
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm {}".format(name_list[0]).split()
Glad you got it to work.
