I need help figuring out how to fix this code.

[Gregory Piñero]

Make sure that line with name=="Nathan" is not indented.  It's hard to
tell from the code there.

Also, I'm thinking that this won't work:
 if name == "Nathan":
         print "What a great name!"
 elif name == ["Madonna", "Cher"]:

because the variable name is a string and not a list.  You could try:
 elif name in ["Madonna", "Cher"]:
