Smith, J.R.

[bertramr]

Version = 0.3.4

>> nameparser.HumanName('Smith, J.R.')
<HumanName : [
    title: '' 
    first: 'Smith' 
    middle: '' 
    last: '' 
    suffix: 'J.R.'
    nickname: ''
]>

Expected would be something which happens when J.R. is split

>> nameparser.HumanName('Smith, J. R.')
<HumanName : [
    title: '' 
    first: 'J.' 
    middle: 'R.' 
    last: 'Smith' 
    suffix: ''
    nickname: ''
]>

Seems to be related to JR. Other first and second names without space are put to first field:

>> nameparser.HumanName('Smith, A.B.')
<HumanName : [
    title: '' 
    first: 'A.B.' 
    middle: '' 
    last: 'Smith' 
    suffix: ''
    nickname: ''
]>

My first workaround for now is to replace J.R. with J. R., but support of this rare case would be nice.
