Default Formula for stripping text

I have a list of names, listed as LAST, FIRST, MI. The Middle initial is
optional, and I would like to remove it for the purpose of creating a lookup
from another table.

I have been doing Text to Columns and then CONCATENATE for the first 2
columns.
I was wondering if there is a way to do this with a function. Thanks in
advance.
