Default Formulas for Parsing Full names

Something I've done a lot, but never really took the time to write all the
steps (because it's usually easy enough)
is parsing out a Fullname: Doe, Mary Anne E. into 3 columns.
LastName, FirstName, MI

I started to make a little cheat sheet so that I could just blindly paste
the formulas into whatever worksheet I need to do this to, when it occurred
to me:

Has anyone already done this? (Created a perfect algorithm to catch every
scenario)
Certainly someone has!

I'm stuck with the example above: As you can see Mary Anne is her first name
and E is her middle initial which poses some problems for
the average name Doe, John E

Thanks!
