Default Split surname from end of name data

Hi all

I've seen lots of posts about how to split up name data when there are a
known number of names within the cell or when the surname is the first item
in the cell.

Can someone please tell me how to split out the surname when I have data
such as "Dr Andrew Frederick Smith" and "Dr Jane Jones" i.e. the number of
names, initials, whatever is variable - therefore I need to find the space by
starting at the right hand end instead of the left ?

Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Hinemoa
