In the two examples of C. S. Lewis and John Q. Smith, A single regex cannot fix both as they are too different. You can do regex for names that match C. S. Lewis and another regex that match John Q. Smith. Then you'd just create a new regex for any other name formats that you want to change that do not fit either of these two.
