Here is another array implementation that might be closer to your original script:

Code:
NAMES=( Kim Lee Jack Sam Nick Smith )

function listname {

  echo "List of Name:-"

  for((i=1;i<=${#NAMES[@]};i++))
  do
      printf "%d-%-8s" $i "${NAMES[i-1]}"
      ((i%4==0)) && printf "\n"
  done
  printf "\n"
}

function name {

    printf "\n"
    read -p "Which name you want to change? " iname

    if [ -n "$iname" -a $iname -gt 0 -a $iname -le ${#NAMES[@]} ] 2> /dev/null
    then

        nam="${NAMES[iname-1]}"

        read -p "Enter $nam: " AGE[$iname-1]

    else
         echo "You did not enter a number"
         echo "between 1 and ${#NAMES[@]}."
    fi

    echo
    read -p "Do you want another change? " anothchang
    [[ $anothchang = [yY] || $anothchang = [yY][Ee][Ss] ]]
}

function output {
  for((i=0;i<${#NAMES[@]};i++))
  do
      printf "%s(%d)\n" "${NAMES[i]}" ${AGE[i]}
  done
}


listname
while name
do
  output
  listname
done
output

uniq(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   uniq(1)

Name
       uniq - report repeated lines in a file

Syntax
       uniq [-udc[+n][-n]] [input[output]]

Description
       The  command  reads  the  input	file comparing adjacent lines.	In the normal case, the second and succeeding copies of repeated lines are
       removed; the remainder is written on the output file.  Note that repeated lines must be adjacent in order to be found.  For further  infor-
       mation, see

Options
       The n arguments specify skipping an initial portion of each line in the comparison:

       -n Skips specified number of fields.  A field is defined as a string of non-space, non-tab characters separated by tabs and spaces from its
	  neighbors.

       +n Skips specified number of characters in addition to fields.  Fields are skipped before characters.

       -c Displays number of repetitions, if any, for each line.

       -d Displays only lines that were repeated.

       -u Displays only unique (nonrepeated) lines.

       If the -u flag is used, just the lines that are not repeated in the original file are output.  The -d option specifies  that  one  copy	of
       just the repeated lines is to be written.  The normal mode output is the union of the -u and -d mode outputs.

       The  -c option supersedes -u and -d and generates an output report in default style but with each line preceded by a count of the number of
       times it occurred.
