This will be harder if there is a huge enough list. If the naming is consistent i.e "first name" space "second name" then there is an easier option using MS Excel. Step 1 - Make sure to insert a column after the name column. Step 2 - Select the list of names Step 3 - Click the 'Text to Columns' option under Data in MS-Excel. Select 'delimited' click next and select 'space' as the separater. See the preview below to make sure it is correct, then finish the task. Thank you for the useful tip.
