Silly question about the UNIQUE keyword in a logical file.

I have a physical file keyed on account number. Included in the file is a field for the name. I want a logical file of unique names. There will be many duplicate names, but I only need any one of them.
It seems to me that I want a logical keyed on name, only, since I don't 
care about having duplicates.   How to do this?  UNIQUE is not the 
answer.  It works if I use Unique and key on name & account.  But that 
gives me a lot of duplicate names.  It works but looks messy.
Am I missing something obvious?
