Joseph, you didn’t address the main point Yiddish names are of Germanic origin ,and have no intrinsic kedusha other that being phonetically spelled with Hebrew letters. It was simply the Germanic Jews ( and later the Eastern European Jews ) everyday language. It was no different that the Arameic names in the Gemara. At one point in time, there was no minhag or mesora to use Yiddish names.
