Default Joining letters from different cells

Hi All,

Is there a formula to join the following characters to create the
example shown below.

B2 C2 D2 (End Result)
JORDAN MIKE JORDAN JORDAN M

I'm getting close with the formula below, but can't work it out.
=LEFT(C1,50)& MID(D1,FIND(" ",D3)+ 1,1)

Thanks,

cRIMSOn

One way:

D2: =B2 & " " & LEFT(C2, 1)

Incidentally in the US when placing the surname first we would
normally place a comma and space after the surname, to show that
the order is different.

D2: =B2 & ", " & LEFT(C2, 1)
