Web to Lead - Full Name captured instead of First Name, Last Name

I am creating Web-to-Lead HTML, and the website captures the first AND last names in a "Name" field. 

Salesforce wants 'First Name' and 'Last Name' as separate fields. I may not be able to talk them into changing the website form to capture these fields separately. 

What's the best way to deal with this? I could create a custom "Name" field on the Lead object and capture this field, but then how would I best break this up into 'First Name' and 'Last Name'

    alert(OriginalValue);
    document.getElementById("first_name").value=OriginalValue.substr(0,OriginalValue.indexOf(' ')); 
    document.getElementById("last_name").value=OriginalValue.substr(OriginalValue.indexOf(' ')+1);;
    }
    </script>
    <form action="https://www.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToLead?encoding=UTF-8" method="POST">
