The Starlost is about passengers who have forgotten they are on a spaceship.
1899 is about steamship passengers in simulation who have forgotten that they are on a spaceship.
The protagonist of 1899 is Maura Franklin.

The name Maura could mean "of the sea", though I didn't find an additional source.
That would make sense in a story about a steamship simulation.
Likewise for Maura Isles who works with JR.

> It features two possible meanings: Of the Sea or Bitter.
> In Irish mythology, the sea contains immense significance, representing the boundary between the mortal world and the Otherworld.
It's also a Gaelic derivative of Mary.

> It appears as the feminine form of the Roman given name Maurus and as an Anglicisation of Máire, the Irish form of Mary.

Earlier, I mentioned the Charles connection to kings via the Franks.
Maura Franklin's middle name is Henriette.
It's a diminutive of Henry and is associated with royalty.

> From the Germanic name Heimirich meaning "home ruler", composed of the elements heim "home" and rih "ruler".
> Heinrich was popular among continental royalty, being the name of seven German kings

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_of_England
Her father's name is Henry.

> Initially believed to be the Creator of the simulation, Henry is, in actuality, just as trapped as everyone else and more determined than anyone else to escape
With the boring stuff out of the way, let's tie in Tolkien.
