The problem is that you have just one public IP address, no matter how many hostnames point to it. And yes, you need to forward two ports, e.g. 80 and 8080, one to each camera, i.e. to their different internal IP addresses. Then make the 2ndname.dyndns-at-home.com a webhop (instead of a host with IP address):

2ndname.dyndns-at-home.com --> http://myfirstname.dyndns-at-home.com:8080/

and everything should work as you expect.

As well as the option RotBlitz suggested, you could consider a reverse proxy, which you forward one port to (port 80 usually) and it will then ensure that connections are directed to the correct host according to the hostname used. Examples include HAProxy, lighttpd and Squid.
