This tool https://json2apex.herokuapp.com/ will handle the naming problem for you.

Or you can use JSON.deserializeUntyped that returns nested maps and lists (that can have arbitrarily named keys such as "list") that you can write code that walks through and pulls out the m.get('list') value into a valid variable name.
