I think Waldamêrs would be still more natural :)

Same as Gothic Heleias (which also appears as Haileiins gen., Eleias 
et sim.). Hebrew Eliyahu, that is.

Another man we can try our hand at is Lev Davydovich Trotzki. Liwa 
Daweidis sunus makes sense for me, but what about the last name? 
Bearing in mind that it is an adjective formed from the Russian town 
name Troki which is today's Trakai (masc. pl. a-stem) in Lithuania, we 
could go for something like Liwa D. s. af Trakam, or sa Trakiska. 
Alternatively, we could Gothicize his real name Bronstein if only we 
know what its first element is about. The name is Germanic (Yiddish).
