.nil? function not working in Ruby on Rails 5

def names
  if first_name.nil? && last_name.nil?
    errors.add(:first_name, "First Name and Last Name both can't be empty!")
  end
end

and even if I write so, it should allow either first or last name to be nil but not both. It doesn't work as expected

Use blank? or present? methods instead of nil?, they both check for empty strings and nil's
