Formula adding fields, but leaving one out if a certain word

I have a formula to name records in one of my tables that is something like:
List(" - ",[Field1],[Field2],[Field3],[Field4],[Field5])

This works quite well for us, but when Field2 is selected as None I don't want None in the output. How would I write this so that when None it reads it as blank?

    my solution was to pull from another field that has this formula and works well
    List(", ",


    IF(Contains(ToText([Field2]), "Hedge Hogs"), "Hedge Hogs"),
    IF(Contains(ToText([Field2]), "Pink Ribbons"), "Pink Ribbons"),
    IF(Contains(ToText([Field2]), "None"), ""))

      I would have done this

      List(" - ",

      IF([Field1]<>"none",[Field 1]),
      IF([Field2]<>"none",[Field 2]),
      IF([Field3]<>"none",[Field 3]),
      IF([Field4]<>"none",[Field 4]),
      IF([Field5]<>"none",[Field 5]))
