Default Formula/Function for parsing data

I have a column of data which is not consistent. Examples of the data in the
column: C- Name, CO- Name, CN- Name, Name, etc.

I want to write a formula/function that will automatically return only the
name (first and last). I know I can convert my data from text to columns or
even write a macro to do this but I don't want anyone to have to remember to
do anything. I want the name to be returned once the data is pasted into a
template.

Thanks.
