My brain doesn't understand what you're trying to do either. Why is Roberto/Carlos on every line?

I formatted their examples to appear like some real data I have that appears like this, obviously not names but descriptions of some projects. I was curious how this would handle it.
In any case, get rid of the "/" and its closer to real. Some people have more than two names in their full name. And on a set a little larger you could very well have something close to my second example.

Currently it matches word by word, so for example if someone has a family name in two parts like "Van Buyten", it wont work. I think it's the same problem in your example: that the first "column" contains multiple words in some cases? We'll be fixing this in a future release!
