Is this what you are looking for ?

new_l = [i.lower() for i in my_list]
extracted = df['Name'].str.lower().str.findall('(' + '|'.join(new_l) + ')').apply(set)


df['Match'] = extracted.apply(','.join)
df['count'] = extracted.apply(len)

                                          Name     Match  count
