Parse, Standardize, and Split Names Automatically

The Name Parser splits full names into structured fields (first, middle, last, suffix), detects and separates joint names ('John and Mary Smith'), normalizes casing, and flags suspicious or fake entries — all in a single pass.

What It Does

Name parsing is the process of decomposing a full name string into its constituent parts — first name, middle name, last name, and suffix — while handling special cases like joint names, inverted formats, and cultural variations. BackOffice Scripts' Name Parser returns 10 fields per record: first_name, middle_name, last_name, suffix, is_joint, second_person_first, second_person_last, standardized_name, is_suspicious, and parse_confidence. This structured output is essential for deduplication, mail merge, regulatory reporting, and CRM data management.

How It Works

1

Upload a CSV with a 'name', 'input_name', or 'full_name' column.

2

The AI model parses each name, handling formats like 'Last, First', 'First Last', 'First & Second Last', and more.

3

Joint names are detected and split into primary and secondary person fields.

4

Suspicious entries (test data, placeholder names, obvious fakes) are flagged with is_suspicious = true.
