Lucas got the name of Coruscant from the EU,

I may be wrong but wasn't the name Coruscant in the 1977 original novelisation of Star Wars? One could say that it is some kind of "EU" but not really, IMO.

No, it was Timothy Zahn who came up with the name Coruscant in Heir to the Empire novel. Before this, the name of the Imperial Capital was Had Abbadon.
