Nice list! I like a lot of these. Henry Siegfried is especially fun, might have to steal that.
Do you know anything about Fridolin, Thure, & Enno?

Thure is a variant of Thore and Tore.
Fridolin is an old name of Middle Franconian origin. It's said to be derived from friþu = peace + the diminutive ending -lenus. Sometimes it was also used as a kind of diminutive form of Friedrich. Anyway, it's been around since at least the 7th century, Fridolin of Säckingen is one more or less well-known bearer.
Enno is a Frisian and Low German name. It's either a short form of names containing either the element "Egin-", or "Ein-" or else "Arn-".
This is one of the few "regional names" that get used nationwide. Last year Enno made on the Top 500 list.
