• Something like this should work. Please notice how I posted ddl and sample data in a consumable format so this is easy to work with. You should do this on future questions. 😀

    if OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Something') is not null

    drop table #Something

    create table #Something

    (

    MyName varchar(10)

    )

    insert #Something

    select 'John' union all

    select 'John' union all

    select 'Tom' union all

    select 'Bob' union all

    select 'Bob' union all

    select 'Bob' union all

    select 'Mike';

    with MyCTE as

    (

    select *

    , ROW_NUMBER() over (partition by MyName order by MyName) - 1 as RowNum

    from #Something

    )

    update MyCTE

    set MyName = MyName + case when RowNum = 0 then '' else CAST(RowNum as varchar(2)) end

    select * from #Something
