To get your required output is quite fiddly. Building on "chirel" post we then sort to reverse order of count, eliminate those with a count of value one, and then reverse the count and name fields.

sort file1.txt | uniq -c | sort -nr | while read count name
do
        if [ ${count} -gt 1 ]
        then
                echo "${name} ${count}"
        fi
done
