(I would have used Brainstorm, which would recognise the common
identical entries as "namesakes"; I would then have sorted them alphabetically and
counted the identical ones.)

Not indiscrete at all. I clipped them into OneNote. Once the whole list was assembled, I copied it into Notetab where I sorted the lines alphabetically, and manually counted them. This didn't take too long and was pretty easy, but your Brainstorm method would have been faster and easier still -- especially the clipping with Magic Paste. This is the danger of having too many PIMs at my disposal.
