'dein Vorname' vs 'deinen Vornamen' Example: Susanne mag deinen Vornamen. 1. In this case, is it possible to use 'dein Vorname' instead of 'deinen Vornamen'? 2. Can deinen Vornamen mean 'yours first names' instead of 'your first name'? (Susanne is not just talking to one person, but a group of people. ) Maybe my question is a little bit weird or unnatural, but still, can you please explain. Thank you so much.

1. No. It's the (accusative) object of the sentence, so you need accusative, not nominative. 2. No, it's singular. The (accusative) plural would be "deine Vornamen" for one person or "eure Vornamen" for a group.

"Susanne mag deinen Vornamen" is correct, because the word Vorname is masculine (der Vorname). "Dein Vorname gefällt Susanne" is also correct, but it is wrong to say "Susanne mag dein Vorname" If you want to say "Susanne likes your first names", you should say " Susanne mag Ihre Vornamen". "Susanne mag eure Vornamen" is also correct but very informal.
