Import-Module ActiveDirectory powershell error - powershell

Question

I am creating a script that asks the user for the first and last name and implements it in a group in Active Directory. Below shows how the script starts
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
#Get-Command New-ADUser -Syntax
$firstName = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter the first name"
$lastName = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter the last name"
The text below shows the body of the script where the information is put
New-ADUser `
-Name "$firstName $lastName" `
-GivenName $firstName `
-Surname $lastName `
-UserPrincipalName = "$firstName.lastname"
-EmailAddress "$firstName.$lastName#<domain>"
-ChangePasswordAtLogon 1 `
-Enabled 1 `
-StreetAddress "<info>" `
-Office "<info>" `
-State "<info>" `
-PostalCode "<info>" `
-Country "<info>" `
-Path "<path>"
I get an error that is shown below showing that objects are not found. The errors are shown below
-Name$firstName $lastName : The term '-Name$firstName $lastName' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I have checked spelling and that doesnt seem to be an issue. Is there an obvious mistake I am making?

Answer 1

This looks like you have a space after the backtick character. That is the danger of using that to do line breaks. A better way to do that if you like how it is organized better is to define a hashtable, then splat that to the cmdlet like this:
$UserParams = #{
Name = "$firstName $lastName"
GivenName = $firstName
Surname = $lastName
UserPrincipalName = "$firstName.lastname"
EmailAddress = "$firstName.$lastName#<domain>"
ChangePasswordAtLogon = 1
Enabled = 1
StreetAddress = "<info>"
Office = "<info>"
State = "<info>"
PostalCode = "<info>"
Country = "<info>"
Path = "<path>"
}
New-ADUser #UserParams

Answer 2

Remove trailing whitespaces after backticks (`) and place missing ones :)
New-ADUser `
-Name "$firstName $lastName" `
-GivenName $firstName `
-Surname $lastName `
-UserPrincipalName = "$firstName.lastname" `
-EmailAddress "$firstName.$lastName#<domain>" `
-ChangePasswordAtLogon 1 `
-Enabled 1 `
-StreetAddress "<info>" `
-Office "<info>" `
-State "<info>" `
-PostalCode "<info>" `
-Country "<info>" `
-Path "<path>"

Answer 3

Your example shows a space between -name and "$firstName $lastName" but the error shows differently. Double check that there's a space
You're also missing some backticks, one after the UserPrincipalName line and one after emailaddress line and you have an extra space after the first backtick.
New-ADUser `
-Name "$firstName $lastName" `
-GivenName $firstName `
-Surname $lastName `
-UserPrincipalName = "$firstName.lastname" `
-EmailAddress "$firstName.$lastName#<domain>" `
-ChangePasswordAtLogon 1 `
-Enabled 1 `
-StreetAddress "<info>" `
-Office "<info>" `
-State "<info>" `
-PostalCode "<info>" `
-Country "<info>" `
-Path "<path>"
