Takes human names of arbitrary complexity and various wacky formats like:

• J. Walter Weatherman
• de la Cruz, Ana M.
• James C. ('Jimmy') O'Dell, Jr.

and parses out the:

• leading initial (Like “J.” in “J. Walter Weatherman”)
• first name (or first initial in a name like 'R. Crumb')
• nicknames (like “Jimmy” in “James C. ('Jimmy') O'Dell, Jr.“)
• middle names
• last name (including compound ones like “van der Sar' and “Ortega y Gasset”), and
• suffix (like 'Jr.', 'III')
