Extracting specific info from finger command

Hello all,

my unix is bash based and the finger command output is:

Login Name Tty Idle LoginTime Office
amos.john Amos John pts/26 1 Dec 5 16:18 (77.100.22.07)

What am trying to achieve is extract the Login (amos.john) and Name (Amos John) from this output without using awk or sed.

Any pointers please, thanks.
