Change

in list myList

to

in list named myList

By the way, your first four lines are silly. Just say:

set listNames to (get name of every list)

Here's a nice formulation:

tell application "Reminders"
    set listNames to (get name of every list)
    set myList to choose from list listNames with prompt "Select the list to add Reminder"
    make new reminder in list named myList
    set name of result to "My Cool Reminder"
end tell
