If you need a list of all duplicate words in the array (not the specific ones) you also could convert the array into a table and run SQL statement against it.
Something like:

* convert the array into the table here

SELECT mywords, count(mywords) group by mywords having count(mywords) > 1

where mywords is a table column converted from your array column that contains names.
