Hi Stanley

First insert a heading above your column of names.
Then DataFilterAdvanced Filter mark the source as your column of names.
Choose copy to another location and choose a detination cell on the sheet.
Select Unique values only.

Having got a unique list of names, copy this list and Paste
SpecialTranspose to your desired position.
