I've been compiling these for a while now, as part of a role play project I've been building from the ground up for these past five years. I've not included any sources in the text yet (that needs be done after combing through all the documents I read and all the online works I've read through to the best of my ability and Google's seemingly random page uploading policy on Google Books) and sometimes there are names that do repeat under a different spelling, it's something I've tried to weed out but it happens sometimes with different sources. Sometimes the same name is used more then once, though in that case it is usually to denote it's presence in multiple areas.
Please excuse a certain vagueness to some of the areas in question, and also the inclusion of what may be non-native names, as I am listing these based on their geography whenever possibly, simply because I do not have the knowledge or the time to double check the possible origin of each name. I do try to group things like obviously Hurrian names together, based on the elements used in the names.
Finally, the biggest document here is somewhat erroneously titled "Mesopotamian Names" when the area covered is much larger. I've stuck to including fringe areas relating and interacting with the various "established" centres of cuneiform civilisation, from a simply practical purpose of not creating seperate documents for lists that may not warrant that yet, length wise and also because that way it helps me double check whether I already noted the name a lot easier then going through the tedium of looking up the same thing in five or six documents every time I wish to make an entry.
These are all a work in progress and are updated when I return to that particular subject and or if I find something of note relating to them.
