her name is not in the list vs her name is not on the list

Both phrases are correct; however, they're used in different contexts. 'Her name is not on the list' is the more common and idiomatic expression when referring to a physical list, like a piece of paper or a document. On the other hand, 'Her name is not in the list' can be used to refer to a more abstract or conceptual list, such as a mental list or a database.
