Though I'm actually pleased that you thought that. It's closer than you'd think, in a way.

I have to fight when writing fiction not to name men David or Greg, and Muldoon is my go-to surname. In fact, in my first piece of "serious" (non-Sue) adult fiction a major character was named David Gregory Muldoon, who was a humaniod abomination that tended to drive people insane. I hadn't even read any Lovecraft at that point. 'twas a horrible story, 'twas a seriously hamfisted character, but I still read it once a year or so. When I need a reminder that I've grown as a writer, that I've moved past those vapid days. The "-ite" is a play on that; "-ite" as a follower, following, coming after, that which came after Dagoon. Hence the name.

Symbolism is complicated, and frequently only ever makes real sense on a personal level, yo.
