The technical term for this is hiatus. In German, such names used to be rare, but not unheard, besides Biblical Names like Michael, Gabriel, Samuel, Raphael, Matthias and Matthäus there are some more like Theodor, Dorothea, Leopold, Leonhard, Theodolinde, Andreas, Beate. However, current German naming trends prefer names with hiatus with new creations and imports from everywhere, typical examples are Lias, Liam, Lian, Matteo, Noah (m), Noa (f), if you can read German, you may enjoy this interview:
