Default Trim cell contents

I have a long list of names in Excel where the first and last name are in one
cell. I want to split the names with first name in one cell and last name in
another cell. I know how to use the "Left" and "right" functions but then I
have to use a different formula for each name since each name is a different
length. Is there an easier way to do this?
