<Ref>The Targum Unkelos we have which includes a Targum of every pasuk can be used even for pesukim that are just names or places. chot 8a says that one should also read the pesukim of just names  such as “Atarot VeDevon”.

On these pesukim one should still read it twice with targum rather than reading it three times without targum. So writes the Talmedei Rabbenu Yonah, Ravyah (Brachot 22), Mordechai (Brachot 1:17), Tashbetz 184, Orchot Chaim pg 64b:3, Kol Bo 37, and Leket Yosher pg 55.
