Especially in cases where we know the Proto-Norse form  (such as ''Oslo'' ← PN. ''*Ansulauhu''), the Gothic form may be quite apparent, as there isn’t too much difference between these two languages.

*: The origin of ''Oslo'' has been up to debate, with several theories spanning between ''*ansaz'' / ''*amsaz'' (mountain ridge) and ''*ōsaz'' (estuary), however the vowel was nasal in Old Norse, as seen in Dutch ''Ansloo'' and Latin ''Ansloa'', so ''*ōsaz'' is ruled out. The third theory is ''*ansuz'' (god), which due to ''u''-umlaut would explain the ''ó-'' vowel (cf. the form ''óss'' alongside ''áss'', and names like ''Ósmundr'' / ''Ásmundr''). The latter element ''ló'' is the PGem. ''*lauhō'' f. (meadow), an alternative form of the masculine ''*lauhaz'' which gave rise to the West Germanic forms. The Gothic adaptation could very well use the feminine form for consistency, as the word is not attested in this language, and it would be natural for it to be borrowed in the feminine form had Gothic gotten it from Proto-Norse.

''*awjō'') is not attested in Gothic, however it’s a common word across the rest of the Germanic languages, so the odds are low for it having fallen out of Gothic. The form is also quite apparent based on similar words like ''*frawjǭ'' and ''*frawjô'' (→ ''𐍆𐍂𐌰𐌿𐌾𐍉'', ''𐍆𐍂𐌰𐌿𐌾𐌰''). To properly adapt Germanic place names to Gothic, ''*𐌰𐌿𐌾𐌰'' would need to be revived.

Especially in cases where we know the Proto-Norse form  (such as ''Oslo'' ← PN. ''*Ansulauhu''), the Gothic form may be quite apparent, as there isn’t too much difference between these two languages.

* Oslo → '''[[𐌰𐌽𐍃𐌿𐌻𐌰𐌿𐌷𐌰]]''' (Ansuláuha). ON. ''Ósló'', ''Ǫ́sló'', ''Ásló'' f., PN. ''*Ansulauhu'', ''*Ansulōhu''.
*: The origin of ''Oslo'' has been up to debate, with several theories spanning between ''*ansaz'' / ''*amsaz'' (mountain ridge) and ''*ōsaz'' (estuary), however the vowel was nasal in Old Norse, as seen in Dutch ''Ansloo'' and Latin ''Ansloa'', so ''*ōsaz'' is ruled out. The third theory is ''*ansuz'' (god), which due to ''u''-umlaut would explain the ''ó-'' vowel (cf. the form ''óss'' alongside ''áss'', and names like ''Ósmundr'' / ''Ásmundr''). The latter element ''ló'' is the PGem. ''*lauhō'' f. (meadow), an alternative form of the masculine ''*lauhaz'' which gave rise to the West Germanic forms. The Gothic adaptation could very well use the feminine form for consistency, as the word is not attested in this language, and it would be natural for it to be borrowed in the feminine form had Gothic gotten it from Proto-Norse.
* Otta → '''𐌿𐌷𐍄𐍉''' (Uhtō). ON. ''Ótta'' f., from ''ótti'' (fear, dread), PGem. ''*uhtô''.
