@Justin, the names are in a paragraph, no commas or delineators, randomly throughout the text.

@Jongware, THANK YOU, this formula works:-) There a quite a few titles for which I have to look BUT not so many that I cannot include them in the look ahead. Makes my life much easier.

Now, let’s say I wanted to incorporate this grep into a paragraph style where we find the proper names and whenever, those names are found, neither the first or last name should be hyphenated in the event of a line break, thoughts? If I assign a no break to the entirety of the expression it appears to try to keep the entire name together at all times and the hyphenation feature nested in paragraph styles.
