Default Need Excel formula to separate names into columns, with exceptions

I'm hoping this is possible..

What I have is a name column like this:

ANTHONY D DE ROSE
EDUARDA J DE SOSA
EMANUEL O DE SOUSA
EMANUEL O DE SOUSA
JOSHUA W DEAN
DALE A DEBRUIN
JAMES F DEDIEGO
ROBERT COOLIDGE


And I need to end up with two columns; a FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME. (FIRSTNAME
containing any middle initial and LASTNAME containing any two-part last name
such as 'De Rose', etc).

Any ideas??
