Sure:

    for i in listOfNames:
        prefixMr = 'Mr'
        prefixMs = 'Ms'
        if i in mansName:
            salutation = prefixMr + i
        else:
            salutation = prefixMs + i
    else:
        del prefixMr
        del prefixMs

    print 'Hello,' + salutation

Probably not quite what you wanted.  Is there a reason you need/want the
variable to disappear before the function returns?
