The Bible started to trickle into Great Britain around the 1st century, and it included the Greek and Latin versions of a lot of the names you listed, not the modern English versions. It came in with the Romans, so some folks had latin names not in the Bible.

Folks living there were speaking Celtic, Gaelic, Anglo-Saxon Old English, etc. I bet you can find first names listed for those languages, but they are probably scrubbed, and no telling how they were actually pronounced back then.
