Names of the divinities

I've noticed that the names of the gods are quite difficult to remember. I have asked a few random people how many they knew and most say none. I think this comes from the structure of the names being unusual and the pronunciation of most is awkward for an English speaker. I wanted to suggest some alternatives which might be more memorable.

Element - current name - suggestions
Ice - Orasic - Aona, Tymmera
Fire - Aerotes - Udesis, Salahmar
Night - Dunesel - Lyria, Lynera
Lightning - Vaendac - Vandac, Vaden, Uktar, Valkar
Earth - Javn - Othar, Yara

Interested to hear others people's thoughts and suggestions.

I would agree with you if it was 2 weeks ago, but I'm used to it now haha.

I like your suggestions though! I think Orasic fits Ice just fine though (I think Oceanic when I see it). Only one of the few I felt okay with right away.

I agree not all need to be changed but thought Id cast a wide net for the sake of it :)

Tymmera might be better suited to the night god actually.
