I think its a bit of a stupid question, but is it possible to do something like this?
local names = {"file1","file2",}
local files = {"/file1.lua","/file2.lua"}
for i=1,2 do
local file = fs.open(folders[i],"r")
local names[i] = textutils.unserialize(file.readAll())
file.close()
end
print(names[1])

that code looks mine to me. I'm assuming that the contents of the names table in you example is what would be put into it from the tables.

You can't make a table entry local. The table itself sets the scope for entries.
