Default complicated text to column

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?
