Is this what you're talking about? (This is a regular script.)

num = 0
for _,m in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
    if m.ClassName == "Model" then
        if m.Name == "Jimmy" then
            num = num + 1
        end
    end
end

What this technically does is it stores a number that counts how many times the for loop detects a model named "Jimmy", and for every time there is a model named "Jimmy" the number gets 1 added to it. So if there were 6 models named "Jimmy" the number would be 6. It's actually pretty simple.
