Try the Sachsenspiegel (
http://www.sachsenspiegel-online.de/export/ssp/ssp.html). You might find
some Middle Low German names there that'll tickle your funny bone.

Detlef von Marburg (Detlef, incidentally, being a Low German name)

Hwæt! We Gardena         in geardagum,

ofer hronrade         hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan.         þæt wæs god cyning!
