This is a little experiment I did back in 2012 / 2013 for Rows 1 - 10 ( around 630 gravestones). For many of those graves I have not been able to read the name.
At the time I had less than 50 family names to refer to for the around 1600 gravestones in the whole cemetery.
I am keeping it mostly to remember the combinations of two given names - be it two Sacred Names or a Sacred Name and a Kinnui.

At the time I hoped that it would be easier to identify those buried if they had a double given name.In other words, there are fewer “Moshe Meir” than just Moshe.
I had hoped that when there are two graves were the father of the deceased has the same double given name, this could perhaps help establish that the two deceased are siblings.

I had hoped that if the same double name turned up both as the name of the deceased , but also as the father of the deceased for several persons, it would help establish a grandfather-father- grandson line, perhaps even a greatgrandfather.
Alexander Beider’s book A Dictionary of Ashkenazic Given Names is a book I have often turn to.
Here is my understanding:
Shem Hakodesh
Dr. Beider writes about the Shem HaKodesh (the sacred name) that was given when the boy was circumcised, and then used at the Bar Mitzva, in the synagogue, at the wedding and on the gravestone.
Examples: Avraham, Yitzchak, Moshe, Zvi, Zeev
Kinnui
Then there was the Kinnui ( nickname, secular name), a name usually influenced by the local language – in our case , most often Yiddish.
Examples : Ajzik, Avish, Feivel, Leib ,Sendel
I have marked those in red.

Of all these names, I at first thought that one grave had two kinnuim (Hersh Itshe), without any Shem Hakodesh .
Now, from a photo taken by Bogdan Lisze i can see the name Zvi (possibly Asher Zvi).
