If you preferred automatic method then try this
Let's say you have your data in A2:B7

Bert in A10
Mary in A11
B10
=IF(ISERR(SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$7=$A10,ROW(INDIRECT("1: "&ROWS($B$2:$B$7)))),COLUMNS($A:A))),"",INDEX($B$2 :$B$7,SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$7=$A10,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&RO WS($B$2:$B$7)))),COLUMNS($A:A))))

It's an array formula. You have to commit ctrlshiftenter (not just enter)
Copy across to the right and down
