Comparing 2 different Excel files

I'm trying to compare two different excel files - by finding the names that do & don't match.

Below I've post a snippet of each excel files

The only way I've been able to get this sorted out was to use the Side-by-Side option to see both files next to each other. 

I've looked into using VBA to create a code that will tell me whose names are on one list but not the other. The problem I'm facing with that, is the differences in how the excels are created. The names are written in a single column in one list, so I can't get the code to separate the first/last names.

 

Does anyone know simpler way to do this? I assume I'm overthinking the entire process. 

Any help would be appreciated!
