Hello Karan,

In C2, with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, and copy down.

=IFERROR(INDEX(A$2:A$100,MATCH(1,IF(A$2:A$100<>"",IF(ISNA(MATCH(A$2:A$100,C$1:C1,0)),1)),0)),"")

If you need Unique Names in *Ascending Order*,

In C2, with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, and copy down.

=IFERROR(INDEX(A$2:A$100,MATCH(0,IF(A$2:A$100<>"",COUNTIF(A$2:A$100,"<"&A$2:A$100),"")-SUM(COUNTIF(A$2:A$100,C$1:C1)),0)),"")

Note: You must have something for IF's false argument ie. "", any text or a 
Big number like 2^21, 9E+300 etc..

If you need Descending Order, change "<" to ">"

These formulas will work even if you have blank cells in the range. See 
the sample file.

Regards,
Haseeb
