Default Formatting or removing data within a column

Hi - need help again... I have a large worksheet with a column for first
name and a column for last name. Within the column for first name, some of
the names include a middle initial or middle name. I need to remove all but
just the first name - there are over 3000 names and I don't have time to
manually do this task. Is there a way to block the whole column and have
excel remove anything after the space following the first name?

Thanks!
