  • James C. ('Jimmy') O'Dell, Jr.

  • 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
  • surname (including compound ones like "van der Sar' and "Ortega y Gasset"), and
  • suffix (like 'Jr.', 'III')

Example Usage

$parser = new Tck\HumanNameParser\Parser("John Q. Smith");
echo  $parser->surname() . ", " . $parser->firstName();
// returns "Smith, John"
