Actually, Wright includes a list of proper names and some notes on  
Gothic renderings of the Greek forms. We could expand that by:

1. Including synonyms

2. Including additional names derived from the Greek on the same  
basis, e.g. *Ailaine for Helen/Elena

3. Including additional names attested in histories

4. Including Gothic equivalents for other Germanic names

We might need to distinguish *reconstructions and **ones depending on  
the degree of speculation.
