Tbh...I am just waiting until it is said on the show (I don't count #'s) before I consider it fact. I understand that might seem a little ridiculous but it's just a personal preference of mine.

As to why Meredith would put her own name on the list...technically SHE didn't. She only put names that were conveyed via the Banshee network.

"But why wouldn't she omit her name before completing the list?" There is no benefit to doing that since she obviously knew how to "cheat" death.

It seems like some ppl are confusing the origin and meaning of the lists. None of the names were added for any reason other than a Banshee predicted that persons' death. Making the list available to assassins w/ rewards was an intent that went beyond its original conception.
