Need help to write Formula for Alias on Account Name

If the account is more than one word us the first letter of each word and use the last two letters in the last word to complete 4 letters if the account is less than 4 words.
 
For example:
 
Toronto Housing Authority = THAY
Johny Walker = JWER
University of Pune= UOPE
Pune Area Technical Collage=PATC

i am stuck for creation of this formula, can you please help me for this? I dont know how to check for more than one word and apply the formula for this inside salesforce?
If we cannot create a formula then what are other alternative to do this? I am very new to salesforce, please help/suggest
