Try these. I didn’t manage to do it in one grep for all, I had to use a grep for 3 names and one for 2 names.
For 3 names:
Change
(\w+)( \w+ )(\w+)(?= \d+)
replace
$3, $1 $2
For 2 names:
Change
(\w+ )(\w+)(?= \d+)
Replace
$2, $1

Did a test with a few names and it seems to work, but maybe someone can do it in one trick
