database/migrations/2014_10_12_000000_create_users_table.php

Change name in Schema::create to firstname and lastname:

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->string('name');  // <-- Keep this in for Laratrust
        $table->string('name_first');
        $table->string('name_middle')->nullable();  // <-- optional
        $table->string('name_last');
        $table->string('email')->unique();
        $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
        $table->string('password');
        $table->rememberToken();
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}

app/User.php

Modify User nodel by changing:

protected $fillable = [
    'name', 'email', 'password',
];

to:

protected $fillable = [
    'name_first', 'name_middle', 'name_last', 'email', 'password',
];

App/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php

Change validator() and create() methods:

protected function validator(array $data)
{
    return Validator::make($data, [
        'name_first' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
        'name_middle' => ['string', 'max:255'],
        'name_last' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
        'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:255', 'unique:users'],
        'password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:8', 'confirmed'],
    ]);
}

protected function create(array $data)
{
    return User::create([
        'name_first' => $data['name_first'],
        'name_middle' => $data['name_middle'],
        'name_last' => $data['name_last'],
        'email' => $data['email'],
        'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
    ]);
}

views/auth/register.blade.php

Change form input markup to include name_first, name_middle and name_last.

Create a separate User/Controllers directory

Create DashboardController in User/Controllers directory

Make sure it's properly namespaced

namespace App\Http\Controllers\User

Make sure to include the Controller from the correct namespaced path:

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

Make sure the index() method returns a view of user.dashboard

return view('user.dashboard');

Put Any Other User Controllers in separate /User directory

Make sure to namespace the controllers properly: namespace App\Http\Controllers\User

App/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php

Change:

protected $redirectTo = '/home';

to:

protected $redirectTo = '/user';

Add the following inside the class:

protected $redirectPath = 'user';
	protected $loginPath = 'user/login';
	protected $redirectAfterLogout = 'user/login';

App/Http/Controllers/Auth/ResetPasswordController.php

Change:

return redirectTo = '/user';

App/Http/Middleware/RedirectIfAuthenticated.php

Change:

if (Auth::guard($guard)->guest()) {
	    if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
	        return redirect('/user');
	    }
	}

routes/web.php

Although there's probably a better way to do this, change the route for home:

Route::get('home', function() {
	    return redirect('/user');
	});

Place all your user routes inside a "user" route group:

Route::group(array('prefix' => 'user'), function()
	{
	    // Place all your user routes here
	});

Add named get & post routes inside this route group for user/logout:

Route::get('logout', '\App\Http\Controllers\Auth\LoginController@logout')->name('logout');
	Route::post('logout', '\App\Http\Controllers\Auth\LoginController@logout')->name('logout');

Also add a route group inside this route group for any routes that need to be protected by auth middleware:

Route::middleware(['auth'])->group(function() {
	    Route::get('/', 'User\DashboardController@index');
	});

And add a route outside the route group for just simply logout:

Route::get('logout', function() {
	    return redirect('user/logout');
	});

Create /user directory in /views

Move app.blade.php from /layouts to /user/layouts

resources/views/user/layouts/app.blade.php

Add user to URLs as needed:

url('user')
	url('user/login')

Create a dashboard.blade.php view inside the /user directory

resources/views/auth/passwords/email.blade.php

Change the extends file to the correct location:

extends('user.layouts.app')

resources/views/auth/passwords/reset.blade.php

Change the extends file to the correct location:

extends('user.layouts.app')

resources/views/auth/login.blade.php

Change the extends file to the correct location:

extends('user.layouts.app')

Add user/ to all the other URLs as needed:

url('user/password/reset')

resources/views/auth/register.blade.php

Change the extends file to the correct location:

extends('user.layouts.app')
