Thanks for the reply.

So to append a word is it suppose to look kind of like:

word=raw_input("Name #1: ")
    word.append(words)

I keep getting error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/JT/Desktop/pythonfinal", line 23, in <module>
    CollectNames()
  File "/Users/JT/Desktop/pythonfinal", line 7, in CollectNames
    word.append(words)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'append'
