Well in Carrajina the reflexes would be:

Neroneus > Neru�u
Germanicus > Djermanigu
Claudius > Cuadju 

While it is possible that the second two survive as
personal names none would survive as months.  Nero
killed Sampus Perru ed Palu.  Claudius was a nut job
and Germanicus just wasn't that memorable.  The
Donatist population of C-a had little love for the
emperors, the Catholics little more, except for their
beloved Constantine.
