Created under the premise of efficiently fulfilling co-worker's basic request to clean and prepare bulk data formatted as a raw list of first and last names with no delimiters. Various common name modifiers are accounted for, as are middle initials. 10,000 basic names took ~50-100ms, 100,000 of those names ~1s to parse and write to DOM on my work PC in Chrome 74.

Limitations

Middle names, mixed types, and unconventional unhyphenated names which run into the middle name problem.
