Below is another version.
Using the \startsetups block to set the content for the loop/list makes
it easier to strucuture (format) the text. With \recursestring you can
print the value of the current loop entry.
The list of entries for the loop can be moved from the argument itself
to a macro. To make adding and removing (can be done by commenting
entries with %) you can use the \starttexdefinition environment with
each name on a separate line.
%%%% begin example
\starttext
\startsetups [NameEntry]
Person Number \recursestring\par
\stopsetups
\doloopoverlist{One,Two,Three,Four}{\directsetup{NameEntry}}
\blank
%\defineexpandable\NameList
% {One,
% Two,
% Three,
% Four}
\starttexdefinition NameList
One,
Two,
Three,
Four
\stoptexdefinition
\doloopoverlist{\NameList}{\directsetup{NameEntry}}
\stoptext
%%%% end example
Wolfgang
