Default Siple but what was the formula for splitting names?

Martyn hu kiteb:

Hi,
I need the formula for splitting names...
i.e need "Martyn Williams" in A1 to be splitted to "Martyn" and
"Williams" in B1 and C1


Others have proposed solutions. Just be aware that not all names will
fit this pattern. Consider Soo Cheon Jheong as an example. Peter van
helsing is another example that breaks the pattern.

Computer programmers that think they know how my name should be spelt
and capitalised is a pet peeve of mine. Companies have lost my account
over it before, including one that tried to argue with me face to face
over the spelling. The software had truncated my surname at the space.
