Default Comparing text strings

I have two columns populated with names and I need to compare them for
duplicates. Some duplicate names may contain middle initial or middle names
and some don't. So they may not be EXACT. Please give me suggestions on
formulas or funcions that would help me accomplish this task.
Thanks.
