Strange parsing of name w lastname prefix and title before and after #100
Description
The combination of having lastname prefixes and repeated titles before and after a name seems to break the parsers logic around middle name handling.
Here's a test that fails:
hn = HumanName("dr Vincent van Gogh dr")
self.assertEqual("Vincent", hn.first)
self.assertEqual("van", hn.middle)
self.assertEqual("Gogh", hn.last)
For some reason, the middle name comes out as dr Vincent van instead of the expected van.

Current master does this:
Actually this is what I would expect because "van" is a prefix and should attach itself to the following piece.
I think this is a valid bug but I'm not sure what the issue is.

actually, "van" is not a prefix because it is sometimes a first name. So you're right, this should be the expected output:
