Select all the data to be fixed
Use Edit | Find/Replace
Replace what: MD
By: nothing (just leave the box empty)

best wishes

Use a copy of your data to test this first..........
You might highlight the column of names, and do Edit Replace and use
spaceMD in the FindWhat" box and ZZZ in the ReplaceWith" box, then
ReplaceAll........this to see if any thing else gets messed up, if not you
can replace the ZZZ with nothing in the ReplaceWith box.........
