Have a look at this demo
SQL Fiddle DEMO
SELECT Name, COUNT(1) as Cnt
FROM Table1
GROUP BY Name
UNION ALL
SELECT 'SUM' Name, COUNT(1)
FROM Table1
That said, I would recomend that the total be added by your presentation layer, and not by the database.
This is a bit more of a SQL SERVER Version using Summarizing Data Using ROLLUP
SQL Fiddle DEMO
SELECT CASE WHEN (GROUPING(NAME) = 1) THEN 'SUM'
ELSE ISNULL(NAME, 'UNKNOWN')
END Name,
COUNT(1) as Cnt
FROM Table1
GROUP BY NAME
WITH ROLLUP
