Default VBA: AdvancedFilter - Unique Copy of column of names doesn't work?!

Hi!

I'm using this Visual Basic code to copy a column of names into
another column. This other column will only contain the unique names
from the original column of names.

Worksheets("NAMES").Range("A2:A500").AdvancedFilte r
Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=Worksheets("NAMES").Range("C2"),
Unique:=True

For whatever reason, it doesn't work a certain list of names I'm
testing, and I'm stuck trying to figure out how to get it to work (or
create another formula to extract the unique names). Doesn't even work
correctly if I paste the names below into a new spreadsheet and only
the function above!

Microsoft's VBA help seems pretty clear cut on this - simply have
Unique=True:
