Gothic forms of common names?

[Arthur Jones]

In responding to gadrauhts, I would submit
 
Frithureiks; see cf. Frithugairns
(shortened by Romans, perhaps by others, to Fritigern).
 
Attila's bride: Ildico (Hildegund)

Yes I think that too. I would perhaps be quite easy to list all the 
names attested in the bible, right?
And names of gothic kings are known from different sources.
I also think it could be OK to create gothic name forms of not attested 
names that are known in other germanic languages.
Names known from roman lanuages such as spanish could be used as well.
Spanish Rodriguez would correspond to gothic hrodareiks. But maybe this 
is attested already, does some one know that?

ps. my name have I seen as frithareiks, but since the first part is a u-
stem (I guess) I suppose the name should be frithureiks instead.
