Splunk Search

Is there an opposite to dedup?

Basically I have a field "Name" and I want to keep all events with duplicate "Name"s. So exactly the opposite of dedup.

Is this possible?

Edit:
I have a bunch of events that each have a field "Name". I want to eliminate any events that do not share a "Name" with another event.
My search is fairly simple besides this. It looks something like: index=*ind* source=src1.log Name=* info=HIGH | table Name

In my stats table, I only want names that appear more than once.

You could do something like this:

index=ind source=src1.log Name=* info=HIGH | table Name | evenstats count by Name | search count>1

Not sure this question is clear enough. Do you want events that have Name more than once? What have you tried so far? Can you share an example of your search?
