The following fn will solve ur problem...

public void FindUnique()
{
List<string> lstName = new List<string>();
lstName.Add("nandha");
lstName.Add("kumar");
lstName.Add("nandha");
lstName.Add("nandhu");
lstName.Add("kumar");
lstName.Add("nandhaa");

HashSet<string> hashName = new HashSet<string>();

foreach (string item in lstName)
{
if (!(hashName.Contains(item)))
{
hashName.Add(item);
}
}
}


Now the hashName contains
Nandha
kumar
Nandhu
Nandhaa
