How to find the most frequent names in a data list??

Hey guys
I have recently started compiling data for my Youth Group and I am having trouble working out the most frequent name.

Basically, I have typed out the names of the students in my youth group and over 8 weeks I want to see who was the most consistent. It would be handy to know the top 5 let's say.

In Column A, I have the dates and Column B I have the names. My Column B header is titled WHO and in B2, I have a Tom, Dick, Harry, Susan, B3 - Tom, Harry, Lilli, Susan and so on. From B2-B9, I have 8 boxes with roughly between 20 names - 30 names in each box. There are probably 30-40 different names that appear throughout the boxes. I DO NOT, want to count manually each name.

I have tried Pivot tables and frequency lists and a few different functions and I so far haven't had any luck, maybe I am doing something wrong. If someone can please explain what to do I would be most grateful. Cheers.
