<pHalimere(:)s> undounbtedly stays for *Xvalime^rU (*xvali- imper. of
*xvaliti 'praise', *me^r- (more or less) 'eminent' (the latter occurs in
nomina propria only; may be a native lexeme or a loan from Germanic *me:r-
-- the jury is still out on that).

As for <tHoutHemeris> (?), would you re-check the spelling? Does the name
really contain two thetas? They would look very unusual in a Greek rendering
of a Slavic name.
