Dear Taco,
I need a last-name only option for a few but not all authors, such that no
comma comes after the last name; rather it goes straight to the year e.g., it
appears in the actual bibliography as
==============================================
McDermott (1976). The Theology of Shaykh Mufid
==============================================
Right now I get (with spurious comma)
==============================================
McDermott, (1976). The Theology of Shaykh Mufid
==============================================
Sometime authors give me bib's where the first name of the author is
unknown...
Best
Idris

This is bit of a blind gamble, but you can try this definition
instead of the default one:
% #1 = firstname, #2 = von, #3 = surname, #4 = inits, #5 = junior
\def\invertedshortauthor#1#2#3#4#5%
{\bibdoif{#2}{#2 }%
#3%
\bibdoif{#5}{ #5}%
\bibdoif{#4}{, #4\unskip}}%
Cheers, Taco
