When I run my program, it is ok with 'Yza'. When I run with 'noname' , 
receive this message
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 8
        at OwnWhileProject.main(OwnWhileProject.java:27)"

I think this has to do with where I placed my i++. My code is below. 
Thanks for the help, I have been attempting to fix this for 4 days now!!

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class OwnWhileProject {
   

    /** Creates a new instance of WhileLoop */
    public OwnWhileProject() {
    }

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Declare and initialize String array variable called names.
        String names 
[]={"Beah","Bianca","Lance","Belle","Nico","Yza","Gem","Ethan"};

        // This is the search string we are going to use to search the 
array.
        String searchName = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter either 
\"Yza\" or \"noname\"!");

        // Declare and initialize boolean primitive type variable called 
foundName.
        boolean foundName =false;

       
        int i = 0 ;
        while (i<names.length)
        {i++;
            if (names[i].equals(searchName)){
               foundName = true;
               break;
            }
        }

        //Display the result
        if (foundName)
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, searchName + " is found!");
        else
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, searchName + " is not 
found!");
    }
    }
