Default Validation

Hi,
I'm validating a cell, using Name range, I have 5 items and a blank. I
don't know if I'm trying to do something that Excel won't allow.

I need users to select from the given items, without being able to override
those items, but at the same time I need a blank for users to add a new item
if necessary. Is this possible?
As always, any light you can give me is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Regards,

list plus one blank cell OK
