Try...

=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(FIND({"Smith","Jones"},B1))),"Mine ","Not Mine")

OR

=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(FIND(A1:A2,B1))),"Mine","Not Mine")

OR

=IF(B1<"",IF(OR(ISNUMBER(FIND(A1:A2,B1))),"Mine", "Not Mine"),"")

....where A1:A2 contains your list of names. The last two formulas need
to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER. Also, the
last formula contains an additional IF statement to return a blank when
B1 is empty.

Hope this helps!

Ok, this works to start off:

=IF(FIND("Smith",B1),"Mine","Not Mine")

Problem is when Smith is not in the name I get #VALUE instead of "Not
Mine".

Then how to do nester ORs for Smith, Jones, etc.

Cause this doesn't work:

=IF(OR(FIND("Smith",B1),FIND("Jones",B1)),"Mine"," Not Mine")

I just get #VALUE
