The names are as infinite as the stars in the heavens, but all are the same.

I can’t answer this on the grounds that you could use my answer later to sound like you actually know what you’re talking about.

Go to Wicca.com, that will be easier than listing them all here. Besides each path has different beliefs with different names for the Goddesses and Gods.

It depends on the Wiccan tradition you’re talking about. Some of them refer to the “God” (sometimes the “Horned God”) and the “Goddess” in public, and use hidden or secret names during rituals. Others call the God and Goddess by historical names (Pan, Dionysus, Cernunnos; Isis, Astarte, Demeter).

Wiccans tend to recognize many of the Gods and Goddesses from many pantheons as various aspects of the same deities. Some that are commonly known:
Diana
Hectate
Demeter
Isis
Bast
Aphrodite
Gaia
Apollo
Osirus
Pan
The Green Man
Also, many simply use the terms God and Goddess, or Lord and Lady.

It depends on which Pantheon you follow, the Lord and Lady can present themselves to you in different forms, ranging from Ancient Greek, to Norse, etc. However all forms of the Lord and Lady are represented as a trio of personalaties, with the Lord represented as the Father, Son or Sage, and the Lady represented as the Maiden, Mother or Crone.

In the second half of the 20th century, a self-conscious revival of pre-Christian paganism occurred in the United States and Europe. The foundation of this revival was witchcraft, or wicca (said to be an early Anglo-Saxon word for witchcraft). Wicca is interpreted simply as the nature and fertility religion of pre-Christian Europe, which has been explored in books such as Charles Leland’s Aradia: The Gospel of the Witches (1899), Margaret Murray’s The Witch-Cult in Western Europe (1921), and Robert Graves’s The White Goddess (1948). Although they are now considered unreliable by scholars, such books gave inspiration to some people seeking spiritual alternatives. The writings of Englishman Gerald Gardner, who in his book Witchcraft Today (1954) claimed that he was a witch initiated by a surviving coven, imparted much of the alleged lore and rituals of English witches. Although his claims have been questioned, covens of modern witches sprang up under Gardner’s inspiration and spread to the United States in the 1960s. This form of witchcraft—with its feeling for nature, its colorful rituals, and its challenge of conventional religion and society—harmonized well with the countercultural mood of the 1960s and grew rapidly during that decade.-(HOPE IT’LL HELP YOU!!

That depends on what tradition you follow. There are Celtic, Egyptian, Nordic, Roman, Greek, African, Germanic, and other pantheons as well. I suggest if you want details you check out the websites below.

Which pantheon do you want me to list?
Depending on the tradition they follow it can be vastly different.
Most wiccans agree on a universal God and Goddess (often called the Lord and the Lady).
Outside of this universal construct they have many names…
Research the different pantheons of the world’s polytheistic (and dualistic religions).
Start searching google.
