    He means just add text "Mark" in column B when result is TRUE!

    One way:
    =IF(LEFT(A1,2)=LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"A","¦"),"E","¦"),"I","¦"),"O","¦"),"U","¦"),2),"Mark","")

    As per "makinmomb" say first two letter consonants. Then name of BAINITES also "Mark" Because first two letter is not match within range. (This as per my logic)
