they are now using japanese names. so i think there aren't particular ainu names left.
according to japanese Wikipedia, they say there are only 15 people who speaks ainu language.
as for histrical names. tere are ATERUI, SHAKUSHINE, KOSHAMINE. but i don't know how to spell them precisley.

though, if you can look into japanese Wikipedia, there are dozens of ainu words.
