Problem with input

[nrm]

Ho, I'm having a problem when I run the following code, and enter the
name of the first candidate, after I press enter, the program skips the
chance to enter the second candidate's name. Anybody know a solution?
Thanks.

std::cout << "Please enter the name of the first candidate: ";
std::cin >> NameOne;
std::cout << "Please enter the name of the second candidate: ";
std::cin >> NameTwo;

// try (remove the [return] from the stream):
std::cin.ignore ();

Also, if the name has spaces in it, you may want to look into using
std::getline()
