Variable problem

Every time I define full_name = Enter Name Here (that is an example), I get back SyntaxError: full_name = Enter Name Here. Can someone help?

greeting_list.py 
full_name = Jacob Daniel Charbonneau
name_list = list(full_name)

Just add the quotes to the content of full_name variable.

full_name = 'Jacob Daniel Charbonneau'
name_list = list(full_name)
