Default Splitting Up Text in One Cell To Many

I need to split up names in one field to multiple fields. I am using the
extractelement function. My problem: some fields have a title and some don't.
Therefore, I end up with the Title in the First name field and the first name
in the Last name field.

How do I write this to indicate tht if there is NO title to skip and move to
the First name field? OR when there is no title, but a first name, middle
initial and last name? I don't have consistancy in the naming fo the field I
am extracting from.

I might have: Bert T. Smith, Bert Smith, Mr. Bert Smith

Thanks!
