firstName.myName.com. IN CNAME myName.com.

My guess is that you're talking about a website.  In the future, you might 
want to consider using real domains so that we can verify what's going on, 
but it looks like the issue is not DNS at all.  The issue here is that your 
httpd.conf is not setup to recognize firstname.myname.com as a virtual host.  
You need to add this as a virtual host to the Apache configuration (or 
whatever web server you're using) for this to resolve correctly.

<VirtualHost myname.com>
ServerAlias firstname.myname.com
..
..
..
</VirtualHost myname.com>

It does not seem that this question belongs on this list.
