I have no idea how I found this on the 24th page, but I have read "The Castle of Otranto", and it is also fresh in my mind, so yes, these names have their etymology in this novel by Horace Walpole. I even found that it greatly influenced other masterpieces after decades and just some years of publication. Moreover, I read in a book summary on https://freebooksummary.com/category/the-castle-of-otranto more information that it is one of the first editions which launched the implementation of the idea of paternity and its relation to political rule in books and games. So, I see you argued some time ago about the Manfred and Roland names, but I couldn't without getting involved here.
