I have 3 PDFs. When I complete the fname and lname on form 1, I want it to auto populate fname and lname into form 2 and 3.

This is not easily done. You would have to use a script to open the files, edit their contents, save them and then close them each time the fields in the first file are edited. Doing so would require installing a script on the local machine of each user and embedding code in all three files.

When you have finished Form1 you can export its data as an FDF file.
Which you can then import into Form2 and Form3.

Be careful, for this to work the fields must have the same name.
