Default Return top 3 occurances of word in list


Good day to you all!
I have a problem and hopefully somone will be able to help me out with
it

I have a list of names in Column D. Whenever someone generates a lead
their name gets entered into this list. What I need to do is display
the 3 names that appear most often i.e if bob generated 10 leads, rob
generated 9 leads, tim generated 8 leads and sue generated 4 leads i
would need: 1st Bob, 2nd Rob, 3rd Tim.

I have about 15 names but this changes all the time with different
names being added.

I currently have a macro that displays the most common occurance of a
name but i have no idea how to get it to display the other two.

Here is the code:

Sub maxcount()
Dim content As String
Dim mxcount As String
Dim mxuser As String
Dim mxusercount As Integer



Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Range("F1").Select
content = ActiveCell.Value
Selection.FormulaArray = _

"=INDEX(RC[-2]:R[9999]C[-2],MATCH(MAX(COUNTIF(RC[-2]:R[9999]C[-2],RC[-2]:R[9999]C[-2])),COUNTIF(RC[-2]:R[9999]C[-2],RC[-2]:R[9999]C[-2]),0))"
mxcount = ActiveCell.Value
Range("D1").Select
Do While ActiveCell.Value < ""
If ActiveCell.Value = mxcount Then
mxusercount = mxusercount + 1
End If
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop

MsgBox "The most common user name is " & mxcount & " with " &
mxusercount & " referrals."
Range("F1").Select
ActiveCell.Value = content
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I dont know if i am going about this totally wrong or what, but any
help would be great!

Hope this makes sense
