struct array

hi,
i'm trying create struct array this.

typedef struct namelist
  {
  char name;
  int deviceid;
  }; namelist namelist[5];

and fill in data this.

namelist[0].name = "firstname";
namelist[0].deviceid = 0x01;

but i'm getting kind of error
error: invalid conversion 'const char*' 'char' [-fpermissive]

what i'm doing wrong here?

thanks

char single character, not whole string
