A repro project would be helpful.

You need to explicitly set the AutomationProperties.Name for ListViewItem inside ListView.

<ListView.ItemContainerStyle>
    <Style TargetType="ListViewItem" BasedOn="{StaticResource DefaultListViewItemStyle}">
        <Setter Property="AutomationProperties.Name" Value="{Binding Name, Mode=OneWay}"/>
    </Style>
</ListView.ItemContainerStyle>

Let us know if this resolves your issue.
