Question Counting names

Hey,

I need to count the ammout of different names that are given by an application in this form:

Name1
Name2
Name3
.......

now I could use:

Code:
  
for online in `$NAMESBIN | tr -d ' '`; do
    USERSON="$( expr "$USERSON" \+ "1" )"
done

however if there was twice John it would get counted as two and not one.

So basically:

John
Britney
David
Paul
John

would result 5 while it's 4 different names.

How to make it properly ?

NAME
unafs - script to warn users about their weak passwords SYNOPSIS
unafs password-files cell-name DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the unafs command, which is part of the john package. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. john, better known as John the Ripper, is a tool to find weak passwords of users in a server. The unafs tool gets password hashes out of the binary AFS database, and produces a file usable by John. SEE ALSO
john(8), mailer(8), unique(8), unshadow(8). The programs are documented fully by John's documentation, which should be available in /usr/share/doc/john or other location, depending on your system. AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Jordi Mallach <jordi@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). John the Ripper and mailer were written by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>. The complete list of contributors can be found in the CRED- ITS file in the documentation directory. john June 03, 2004 UNAFS(8)
