you can do:

if(names.Any(r=> r == comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString())
{
     // match found
}
else
{
    // not found
}

Or to get the item from the list try:

string str = names.FirstOrDefault(r=> r == comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString());

if str is null that means string not found in the names list, if its not null then you got the string as well, (which by the way would be same as comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString())
