Name a list with a combination of previously defined variables in C#?

I'm trying to create a method that names a variable based on a specific set of other variables. For example, I want to create series of Lists (i.e., List1, List2, List3) by named according to two variables. For example: 

string l = "List"
int += 1

Such that as I cycled through the code using a foreach loop it would name each List consecutively. Any ideas? I've only gotten this much "correct" so far and its not much:

public static string[] ListRenamer(List<string> list, int num)
{
    string x = list.ToString();
    string y = num.ToString();
    string[] z = new string[1];

    return z;
}

I would consider a Dictionary<string,List<string>> instead of separate lists here. You can then name the keys according to your convention, and it can be done dynamically at runtime. It is not possible to rename c# variables at runtime since c# is a static language
