i could have had fun with the elves names too...

Icelandic tales gave the names of the elves as:
Askasleikir
Bjugnakraekir
Faldafeykir
Stekkjarstaur
Gattathefur
Giljagaur
Gluggagaegir
Ketkrokur
og Kertasnikir
Pottasleikir
Skyrjarmur
Stufur
Thvorusleikir.

I believe the Laplander names are:
Baggalutur
Bjalmans barnid
Bjalminn sjalfur
Bitahaengir
Frodusleikir
Laekjaraegir
Raudur
Redda
Sledda
Steingrimur
Syrjusleikir
Tifill
Tutur.

and here are the important six with their westernized names and duties...

Bushy Evergreen is the inventor of the magic toymaking machine.
Shinny Upatree is Father Christmas's (Santa's) oldest friend and cofounder of the secret village in Lapland.
Wunorse Openslae designed Father Christmas's sleigh and maintains it for top performance. (It is believed that the reindeer reach speeds faster than Christmas tree lights.) He also cares for the reindeer.
Pepper Minstix is the guardian of the secret of the location of Father Christmas's village.
Sugarplum Mary is Head of the Sweat Treats, and assistant to Father Christmas's wife, Mrs Claus, also known as Mary Christmas.
Alabaster Snowball is very important. He is the Administrator of the Naughty & Nice list.
