The name Beowulf, coming from a period literary source, is certainly documentable. The question is whether the CoA would allow you to use it - that whole 'historic personage' rule. I don't know whether it was ever used with a byname in period - if so, it would certainly be acceptable.
Cedric - definitely post-period - Walter Scott couldn't spell - proper period would be Cerdic - and while documentable, you might run into the same case as above.
I don't know on the others - Corwyn is doubtful but could be a later form of something documentable in period.
