    *edit, this will only work with one last name people. If they have a space in their last name for some reason, it will not catch the full name.

    You could use the Text to Columns feature to separate the names into two columns, use the =LOWER formula to convert the last names to lowercase, then use a formula like =CONCATENATE(A1," ",B1) to join the names with a space.
