You could use field collapsing, group the results on the name field and set the size of the top_hits aggregator to 1.

/POST http://localhost:9200/test/dedup/_search?search_type=count&pretty=true
{
  "aggs":{
    "dedup" : {
      "terms":{
        "field": "name"
       },
       "aggs":{
         "dedup_docs":{
           "top_hits":{
             "size":1
           }
         }
       }    
    }
  }
}

this returns:
