COUNT Formula??
 

If you want to count you can use countif

=COUNTIF(B1:B5,"Stefanie")

if you want to sum the numbers that have Stefanie in another column

=SUMIF(B1:B5,"Stefanie",A1:A5)

COUNT Formula??
 

=countif(b2:b99,"stefanie")
(to just count the Stefanie's)
or
=sumif(b2:b99,"stefanie",a1:a99)
to actually sum the values in column A.

Debra Dalgleish has lots of notes for counting and summing at:

Keep in mind that we we are counting the number values. The numbers can
vary.

What does that mean? Do you mean that there are blanks in the number column
and they should not be counted?
If so use

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10<""),--(B1:B10="Stefanie"))

Or do you mean unique numbers in the first column with a name criteria, also
wouldn't it be reasonable that when you exemplify your problem that you
actually use something that is closer to the data you are working with than
to use
2 names and one number? Regardless

=SUM(--(FREQUENCY(IF(B1:B10="Stefanie",MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A1 0,0)),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS(A1:A10))))0))

array entered will count the unique numbers in the A where B is "Stefanie"
