    Gather your names from the dropdown in an array, and then find the most common element in the array. Here are some ideas on how to find the most common element in an array in js: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1053843/get-the-element-with-the-highest-occurrence-in-an-array – ee-4-me Aug 31 '23 at 14:19

function mode(arr){
return arr.sort((a,b) =>
      arr.filter(v => v===a).length
    - arr.filter(v => v===b).length
).pop();

}

mode(['pear', 'apple', 'orange', 'apple']); // apple
