Default Separate first name and page numbers

I have an excel file with the name and page number(s) in one column. I have
already separated the last name as there is a comma (usually). And I have
separated the first name into it's own column, but this contains the page
number(s) as well. Can someone provide a way for me to separate the first
name (which may contain a middle name or initial and/or title) and the page
number(s)? Here are some examples in my file:
S. J. 45, 46, 59, 71, 138, 139
S. J., Mrs. 138
Samuel J. 51
Sally 3
W. 41
Warren 17, 61, 71, 95, 109

I want to end up with the page number(s) in one column and the entire first
name in another column.

thanks in advance if you can help! Sherry
