From the index here https://docs.python.org/3/genindex.html you should be able to find 'input', 'while' and 'list'.  You're not using Python 2020.2.1 as the latest version is 3.9.0, I'd guess that's your IDE you're referring to.

2020.2.1 sounds like the version of PyCharm.

As Mark suggests, you will want to investigate using a loop to repeatedly ask for names and append them to a list that you can work with after you break out of the loop.
That may not be the best solution, depending on your needs, but it’s a good place to start.
