You refer to a list. Is this the list of names entered? Or is it a list
of names that already exists somewhere?

You mention a group. What is that? Its ot a python term, so it must
mean something to you, but it doesn't mean anything to us until you
tell us.

This implies that you are counting the iterations?
What do you do with the count? Does it limit how
many names you can enter? Or do you display the number at the end?
What is it for?

I am guessing that what you want looks like this in pseudo code:

validNames = sorted([lots of names here])
inputNames = []
count = 0

while sorted(inputNames) != validNames:
    name = input(some prompt)
    if (name in validNames) and (name not in inputNames):
       inputNames.append(name)
       count += 1
    else: continue

Is that something like it?
