To select only the names from a Django model

 To select only the names from a Django model, you can use the `values_list()` method with the `flat=True` option. This method returns a flat list containing the values of a single field from the model.

Here's an example:

```python

from myapp.models import MyModel

# Retrieve only the names from the MyModel model

names = MyModel.objects.values_list('name', flat=True)

for name in names:

    # Access each name

    print(name)

    # Do something with the name

```

In the example above, `MyModel` is the Django model representing your database table. The `values_list('name', flat=True)` call retrieves a flat list containing the values of the `name` field from the `MyModel` table.

By specifying `flat=True`, you ensure that the resulting list contains only the values of the specified field (`name` in this case), rather than tuples with single values. This allows you to iterate directly over the list and work with each name individually.

Note that `values_list()` returns a list of values, not a QuerySet, so you won't be able to chain further queryset methods after it. If you need to perform additional filtering or ordering, you can apply it before using `values_list()`.
