Don't know what's up with my network but this is my third attempt to
send this.

Sorry if you wind up with multiple copies!

Just get them to enter a string then you have to break that
string into it's elements.

s = input("Enter some names: ")
names = s.split() # assuming names are separated by whitespace
names = s.split(',') # assuming they are separated by commas
names = s.split(',:;. ') # assuming separated by any of specified chars
