As your data is not Consistence - there might be a way around with formulas
that brake the names into 3 parts but I would suggest that you start by
examining "Text to Columns" fro the DATA menu

My imported "Name" column (column A) contains different name formats: First
Name Last Name; First Name Middle Initial Last Name; and, in some cases,
First Name Middle Name Last Name (for example: Mary Smith, John B. Doe,
William James Burrows).
Is there a simple way to convert all names to three columns with the Given
Name in Column B, the Middle Initial or Name in Column C, and the last name
in Column D?
