Oh come on! Arminius was a Roman name - we dont know his German one. Definitely it was not "Hermann", cause thats a modern name.

Yep. 'Hermann the German' is definately out. But 'ASrminius' is not a Roman name, it's a Latinised Germanic name. So 'Armin', or some variant, is also a good possibility...
