Variable not working correctly.

Hi,

I have a script where I am trying to set a local variable using the following,

MYVAR="$NAME"_"$NAME2".txt

where say,

NAME = one
NAME2 = two

so I want the output one_two.txt but what I am getting is,

two.txt

basically the $NAME2 is overwriting, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
