Can someone help please?

I just started the J2SE online training cource.
I have a problem with the homework part in the control structure
section.The homework is to modify the MyForLoopProject project and use
the while loop.
The code works correctly if you type a valid name listed in the array.
When you type an name not listed in the array I get an error...instead
of displaying ("noname" is not found)
Error:
 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException:
8
 at MyOwnWhile.main(MyOwnWhile.java:26)
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 6 seconds)

Code:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class MyOwnWhile {

    /** Creates a new instance of MyOwnWhile */
    public MyOwnWhile() {
    }

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Declare and initialize String array variable called names.
        String names []=
{"Beah","Bianca","Lance","Belle","Nico","Yza","Gem","Ethan"};

        // This is the search string we are going to use to search the
array.
        String searchName = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter either
\"Yza\" or \"noname\"!");

        // Declare and initialize boolean primitive type variable
calld foundName.
        boolean foundName =false;

        int i=0;
        while (i<names.length){
        i++;

            if (names [i ].equals(searchName)){
                foundName =true;
                break;
            }
        }

        // Display the result
        if (foundName)
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, searchName + " is
found!");

        else
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, searchName + " is not
found!");

    }

}
