Start by selecting all the data in columns A and B, being sure to start by selecting A2. Then add the below conditions (pay attention to the location of the '$'). This will add the conditional formatting to all of your data in both columns at once.

Format Condition 1 (formula):
=$A2="Teri" ... add your formats

Format Condition 2 (formula):
=$A2="Linda" ... add your formats

Format Condition 3 (formula):
=$A2="Evelyn" ... add your formats

HTH,
