Thanks for your research on *cough* Bohemian *cough* why not Czech? *cough* names.
I am still waiting for my game - but this is clearly my fault because I somehow put my hometown ZIP code in my work address, so the Czech Post Office must be re-directing the box from my hometown to Prague, which will take some time, I am sure - and I first wanted to comment on Czech names only when I get it, but since you need the info right away, here it is:

These are complete lists of authentic medieval names that the Premyslides actually used to name their children, or that they could have used, i.e. that other high nobility used and that sound sufficiently classy even for future dukes or kings.
Here is a list of some more authentic medieval names that high nobility used but that, IMHO, the Premyslides would not have used because they sound too common. If you simly want to have more names without wondering too much whether they are stylish enough, you can merge these two lists.
bohemian;male;Albert
bohemian;male;Ales
bohemian;male;Bavor
bohemian;male;Benes
bohemian;male;Bocek
bohemian;male;Bores
bohemian;male;Castolov
bohemian;male;Cenek
bohemian;male;Chval
bohemian;male;Hanus
bohemian;male;Havel
bohemian;male;Heralt
bohemian;male;Hrabis
bohemian;male;Hynek
bohemian;male;Idik
bohemian;male;Jesek
bohemian;male;Kojata
bohemian;male;Markvart
bohemian;male;Matous
bohemian;male;Milic
bohemian;male;Ojir
bohemian;male;Pelhrim
bohemian;male;Rajmund
bohemian;male;Sezima
bohemian;male;Slavek
bohemian;male;Smil
bohemian;male;Tobias
bohemian;male;Vitek
bohemian;male;Vok
I am open to suggestions and discussion regarding any other names, of course.
Regarding you list, you can see that I only fixed some spelling (Spitnigev -> Spytihnev, Vojtek -> Vojtech) and removed Jodokus, which may be historical, but sounds really bizarre. For the sake of consistency, I also removed the special letter "á" because there are much more special letters that we should use, but they do not display properly, so I think we should not use any if we cannot use them all.
EDIT: Incorporated certain names from Elias' list.
