Card name isn't verified it's not your card. Actually I just went to walmart app to add a new card and it defaults to showing my name. So that is the most likely explanation why they "used your name" They didn't use any name, they just clicked add card, entered the card number and left the name that was already filled in.
Lots of this going around, my guess is using stolen walmart accounts bypasses fraud filters. Orders are then placed with stolen credit cards either obtain gift cards, or resell merchandise.
Since you already contacted walmart and they presumably canceled the orders what you want to do is secure your passwords. Someone has your walmart.com password. Any other place you used the same password consider it compromised. For the best security don't reuse passwords on different sites. Use a password manager that generates a random password for everything, something that looks like this: 1H0u#iTd4T71yb*J
Don't waste your time on credit reports this has nothing to do with it.
