Consider upgrading to .NET Standard 2.0

This would allow the package to be accessed from modern .NET environments without pulling-in extra .NET Standard 1.6 transitive dependencies.

Using this raw name format (First MidInit. LastName, Degree) to parse is giving wrong results

I have a raw name that is like, TERRENCE H. BORING, M.D. and parsing this with expectations as below:

Title: ""
FirstName: TERRENCE
Middle: H.
Lastname: BORING
Suffix: M.D.

But the actual Result is,

Title: ""
FirstName: M.D.
Middle: TERRENCE H.
Lastname: BORING
Suffix: ""

This is wrong and my guess is, it detects comma in the given name and assumes as "LastName, FirstName" format. Although, you have some samples in the github, seems its not parsing correctly.

Doesn't handle last,first

Does not properly parse a name formatted as "last,first" with no spaces around the comma. This results in the full name being classified as just the last name. Interestingly, if you add a middle name onto this, it does correctly parse all of the names: "last,first middle".

Simple fix for this is to change the following in the Parse method:
if (name.IndexOf(' ') == -1)
to
if (name.IndexOf(' ') == -1 && name.IndexOf(',') == -1)
