Well we could always try determining something appropriate from their character details. It won't be what it actually was, but something is better than nothing, especially since some people consider Tanya and "Tanya" (her previous incarnation) to be two different people (of a sorts) For example, while this hasn't been established in the Warhammer 40k fandom, the Emperor of Mankind's name, should people want to use it, could be Adam. The reasoning behind this is that, before he was born, the human shamans all killed each other in order to bring about the "New Man", that being the Emperor, who was born in Central Anatolia. Central Anatolia is pretty much modern day Turkey and man in Turkish is "Adam" (Though it would actually be Adem, but whatever). Though giving him a name kinda undermines his plan to be humanity's one and only Emperor, through which the lack of a personal name allows. Now I would try determining Tanya's previous name from here for you, but I have somewhere to be in a moment (I'm working through three different languages for this, dammit!). And remember, this isn't a tried and proven method and these names aren't what these characters are actually called; they're just artefacts to add a little closure to a minor character detail.
