На мой взгляд задача не очень то и простая

.noselect {
    -webkit-touch-callout: none;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
    pointer-events:none;
}

Couldn't find Node.js. Make sure it's in your $PATH

var src = [
{name: 'Vasya'},
{name: 'Zina'},
{name: 'Vasya'},
{name: 'Vasya'},
{name: 'Petya'},
{name: 'Vasya'},
{name: 'Petya'},
{name: 'Vasya'},
];
    
var temp = [];
src.forEach(function(e){
    if(temp.indexOf(e.name) == -1){
        temp.push(e.name);
    }
});

src = temp.map(function(e){
    return {name:e};
});

console.log(src);
