OK, So you need to add a loop in the else part of your code:

>>>   for name in names:
>>>     name=input("what is your name: ")
>>>     name=name.casefold()
>>>     group=random.randint(1,5)
>>>     counter+=1
>>>     if name in names and counter<=len(names):
>>>       print(name,"your group is",group)

        else:
           while name not in names:
               name = input(...).casefold()
               if name not in names:
                  print(...)

There is a much more efficient structure you could use that
removes the need for duplicate code but this should show
the principle.
