Default compare 2columes of name

Each column name has respective ID. So I want to see their id which is on the
respective next column to the names. Also I wouldn't know if it is better to
compare without the name concatenate(using each last name, middle and last
name seperately).
Thanks so much for your help

From your posted data what would you expect to see for each case in column 3?

Please is there a way I can compare two columns of names and getting a true
or false response in the third column, the downside is that the names in each
column are a combination of first, middle and last names that have been
concatenated together (These comparison are in thousands). Help please. thanks

column 1 column 2
