You can use DataTemplate for Concatinating two properties. For Example.

<ComboBox>
    <ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock>
                <Run Text="{Binding TaxName}" />
                <Run Text=" | @" />
                <Run FontWeight="Bold" Text="{Binding Rate}" />
                <Run  FontWeight="Bold" Text="%" />
            </TextBlock>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
</ComboBox>

it will be viewed as: Service Tax | @12.36% and bind its value on the code behind as 

cmbTax.ItemsSource = taxes;
cmbTax.SelectedValuePath = "TaxID";

Just create a view model, add a property with FirstName + Surname and use it in Display Member path.
