Using a drop down menu's selection in a formula?

So say I have a table of data E1:G3

I'd like a cell "A1" to have a drop down menu, that drop down menu references E1:E3 so options are "Name 1", "Name 2"....

cell "A2" looks at A1 and displays the contents of a cell that column (E:2)

cell "A3" looks at A1 and displays the contents of a cell that column (E:3)

is it possible to reference location of a selection in a drop down?
