ExtractInitialsFromName(string)

Given a person's first and last name, we'll make our best guess to extract up to two initials, hopefully representing their first and last name, skipping any middle initials, Jr/Sr/III suffixes, etc. The letters will be returned together in ALL CAPS, e.g. "TW".

The way it parses names for many common styles:

Mason Zhwiti -> MZ mason lowercase zhwiti -> MZ Mason G Zhwiti -> MZ Mason G. Zhwiti -> MZ John Queue Public -> JP John Q. Public, Jr. -> JP John Q Public Jr. -> JP Thurston Howell III -> TH Thurston Howell, III -> TH Malcolm X -> MX A Ron -> AR A A Ron -> AR Madonna -> M Chris O'Donnell -> CO Malcolm McDowell -> MM Robert "Rocky" Balboa, Sr. -> RB 1Bobby 2Tables -> BT Éric Ígor -> ÉÍ 행운의 복숭아 -> 행복
