Default Converting full Names from 1 cell to 2

I deal with an Excel file that has many names on it all in 1 cell.
Some of the common combinations are below. Is there any way to
separate the 1 column in to 2 columns bases on table below.

FIRST LAST CONVERT TO FIRST LAST

FIRST MIDDLE LAST CONVERT TO FIRST MIDDLE LAST

FIRST M LAST CONVERT TO FIRST M LAST

FIRST M. LAST CONVERT TO FIRST M. LAST

FIRST LAST SUFFIX CONVERT TO FIRST LAST SUFFIX

FIRST MIDDLE LAST SUFFIX
CONVERT TO FIRST MIDDLE LAST SUFFIX


FIRST LAST SUFFIX CONVERT TO FIRST LAST SUFFIX

The problem I have is that all the names are different lengths.

Thanks for your help.
