if you fill the name column without blank cells and Peter already exists
in the column you get the suggestion Peter while writing P and you can
confirm it with Enter.
For me this way is easier and faster than clicking on dropdown, looking
for the name in the list and select it.
If you want a dropdown then select the cells = Data = Data Validation
= List and put in your names as source
