The answer is: Roman Numerals.
An explanation of the riddle is as follows:
The last name has eight letters (NUMERALS) while the first or given name has five (ROMAN).
Using each of the numerals once gives MDCLXVI, which is 1,666.
C ( which is found in Cow) is first of the seven in the alphabet while X ( which is found in oXen) is last.
Three of seven are found in DaMseL. Three are also found in VIXen.
Explanation of the hint:
I is the only one of five vowels among the seven Roman numerals.
C is found in Cat, M and I in MItten.
I and V are odd numbers. The rest are even numbers.
There are seven Roman numerals. One of them is found in seVen (the V).

I would have to agree with the others,
roman numerals. (eight and five, last name given)
M=1000
D=500
C=100
L=50
X=10
V=5
I=1
total 1666
However, the "last in oxen", still has me puzzled.
