You didn't say if you wanted stuff in the files or not. So here's 2 examples

Add the names you want in list.txt

cat list.txt | xargs -n 1 touch

That will create empty files with names taken from list.txt

cat list | xargs -n 1 cp template.html

That will copy template.html to what ever names is in list.txt
