Wildcard Match Count

I am trying to use a match, regex, or eval with a stats count.
I have multiple values that are similar that are in the same column along with other values that I want kept.
Here is an example of some of the data

name="User: Employee FirstName LastName", 
name="User: Employee FirstName1 LastName1",
name="User: Employee FirstName2 LastName2",
name="Office 365"
name="Word"
name="Google"

I would like to be able to do a

... | stats count by name eval User [regex] replace ""User: Employee FirstName LastName"...  x3  with User

Results:
Office 365 1
Word 1
Google 1
User 3
I have tried many ways, but can't seem to get this to work as I would like.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

Assuming that you want every user to come out on the same line, labeled as User...

Try this -

 | rex mode=sed field=name "s/^User.*$/User/"
 | stats count by name
