Assume:
Full name (Abbott, Susan H.) is in cell A2,
First Name formula is in cell B2.
Last Name formula is in cell C2.
Middle formula Initial is in cell D2.

B2 =LEFT(A2,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE($A2," ","~",1))-2)

C2 =IF(LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"
",""))=2,MID($A2,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE($A2," ","~",1))+1,
FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE($A2," ","~",2))-FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE($A2,"
","~",1))-1),RIGHT($A2,LEN($A2)-FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE($A2," ","~",1))))

D2 =IF(LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",""))=2,RIGHT($A2,LEN($A2) -
FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE($A2," ","~",2))),"")
