Count Name list (mixed with Number)
Courtesy of @JohnGordon:
Use if val == 'Jacob Lee' or val.startswith('Jacob Lee ') or val == '30220' or val.startswith('30220 '):
I'm trying to count the Customer's Name in my data. 
For example, if there are ["Jacob Lee", "Jacob Lee 30220", "30220"] in the column, I want to count these cases as a same person. Because 30220 is Jacob Lee's account number. 
I'm not sure how to code this function. 
FYI: I'm using python 3.
