Thanks a lot for the list! I've risked a "back-translation" of the 
names into Gothic which I'm humbly submitting to your inspection 
now, though I realize this is far not the first, still less the 
best, attempt to do it. Most of the names seem pretty transparent, 
yet there are some which remain unclear (to me). I'd greatly 
appreciate your corrections. 

1. Reyes Visigodos (Visigothic Kings) // Wisugutane reiks (let them 
be reiks pl., not þiudanos, OK :-)

Fritigerno - 369-380 // Friþugairns, spoken Friþigairns (maybe it 
was just a nickname, "peace-lover"?)
Atanarico - ¿?-381 // Aþanareiks
Alarico I - 395-410 // Alareiks sa fruma

2. Reino arriano de Tolosa (Arian kingdom of Toulouse) // Reiki þata 
arianisko in Tulosai

Ataúlfo - 410-415 // Aþawulfs
Sigérico – 415 // Sigireiks
Walia - 415-418 // Walja (from the word waljan "to choose"?)
Teodorico I - 418-451 // Þiudareiks sa fruma
Turismundo - 451-453 // Þaurismundus (goleiþ unsarana Kunjareþ :-)
Teodorico II - 453-466 // Þiudareiks sa anþar
Eurico - 466-484 // Aiwareiks
Alarico II - 484-507 // Alareiks sa anþar

3. Reino arriano de Toledo (Arian kingdom of Toledo) // Reiki þata 
arianisko in Tuleton

Gesaleico - 507-511 // Gaizalaiks (if so, why different reflexes of 
the same diphthong?) 
Amalarico - 511-531 // Amalareiks 
Teudis - 531-548 // Þiuda M.-an? (the ending is unclear)
Teudiselo - 548-549 // Þiudisels? (þiuda + sels, right?)
Agila I - 549-551 // Agila sa fruma
Atanagildo - 551-567 // Aþanagilds (or maybe –gildus M.-u?)
Liuva I - 567-572 // Liuba sa fruma (he must have been popular, eh?)
Leovigildo - 572-586 // Liubigilds

4. Reino católico de Toledo (Catholic kingdom of Toledo) // Reiki 
þata kaþulikeino (þatist rumonisko) in Tuleton
Recaredo - 586-601 // Reikareþs (should be Reikireþs)
Liuva II - 601-603 // Liuba sa anþar
Witerico - 603-610 // Witjareiks, later *Witireiks
Gundemaro - 610-612 // Gunþimers (in Gothic, but the phonetic 
shaping is clearly West-Germanic)
Sisebuto - 612-621 // Sisjabots? (*sisja- "incantation" + smth of 
botjan?)
Recaredo II – 621 // Reikareþs sa anþar
Suintila - 621-631 // Swinþila
Sisenando - 631-636 // Sisjananþs
Chintila - 636-639 // ??? Kintila ("little penny"?)
Tulga - 639-642 // Tulga (from tulgus "firm"? Then why not *Tulgja?)
Chindasvinto - 642-653 // Kindaswinþs (probably better Kindiswinþs?)
Recesvinto - 653-672 // Reikiswinþs
Wamba - 672-680 // Wamba (a nice name!)
Ervigio - 680-687 // ??? (no idea)
Égica - 687-700 // Agika (with an i-umlaut?)
Witiza - 700-710 // Witika? (what is this /z/?)

Paulo - 673, reigned Septimania and some parts of  Tarraconensis // 
Pawlus
Suniefredo - 692-693 // *Sunjafriþus
