Once you have created the string list, you can simply call AddStrings().

Or for older versions of Delphi that do not support the AddStrings() overloads that accept arrays, you can roll your own.

function StringListFromStrings(const Strings: array of string): TStringList;
var
  i: Integer;
begin
  Result := TStringList.Create;
  for i := low(Strings) to high(Strings) do
    Result.Add(Strings[i]);
end;

Using an open array parameter affords the maximum flexibility for the caller.
