Your name may well be in a list, but we never say that. We ALWAYS say on the list.

@hptab2611 you could say “in a list” when talking about someone writing something down. you say “could you write this in a list?”
You could say “on a list” if you’re talking about something being on the list. “There are tomatoes on the list”
