Best part about it is that it's distributable.

You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback.

Yes there are a number of useful functions. And they can also be used from
within VBA.

About the only downside I've found is that inputs are limited to 255
characters.

I noted in a previous posting that you wanted to get rid of the initial space
if there was not middle initial.

You could modify the function I posted as follows:

=REGEX.SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\s*(\w+)\s+(\w+).*",
"=if(len(""[1]"")=2,"" [2], [1]"",""[2], [1]"")" )
