Try this one:

------------------------------------------->
#!/bin/sh

FILE='/tmp/names'

if test "$#" -lt 1; then
    echo "I need at least one parameter" >&2
    exit 1
fi

for name; do
    if grep -qi "$name" "$FILE"; then
        echo "$name is already in $FILE"
    else
        echo "Adding $name to $FILE"
        echo "$name" >>"$FILE"
    fi
done
<-------------------------------------------

Ciao,
        Stefan
