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
