Lovecraft's Dunsanian names

[geoffrey]

I compiled the following list of names from H. P. Lovecraft's stories that imitate the stories of Lord Dunsany. I use it for people and places in a mountain range on the planet of Carcosa. In any case, I find these names euphonious. Enjoy!

I'm a bit lazy at the moment, otherwise I'd answer these questions myself: Are these strictly Dream Cycle names? Do these names also occur in Lord Dunsany's stories, or only in Lovecraft's "Dunsany-like" fantasy stories?

Anyway, great resource - consider these (re)stolen.

Looks to me like these are all from Lovecraft.

Thanks, geoffrey. I can definitely make good use of that list.

Those are strictly Dream Cycle names. None of them is from a Dunsany story.

The names of characters from Clark Ashton Smith's Zothique and Hyperborea stories would also work in Carcosa.
