Need some help here

Recently I decided to scrap the world I was creating in favor of a different one, which I think is much better. Basically, I eliminated all the planes outside the transitive and material planes and turned the material plane into a flat disc, 100,000 miles in diameter sitting on top of a mountain composed of the elements (spiraling around one another).
This world is a monotheistic one, with the one god being a good and benevolent being. Evil clerics get their powers from demons, who while they can't grant spells, can tap into sources of divine power.
Outside of these beings, exists the Hierarchy of the World (temporary name). They are assorted by divine rank and noble title (according to the British nobility rankings). Basically they are elemental demigods, but they do not grant spells.
Here's my request. For the life of me, I can't think of names for them so if you can think of good names for 'em I'd be very grateful. Here they are:
Duke of Fire, Duke of Earth, Duke of Water, Duke of Air - all are divine rank 5
Marquis of Darkness, Marquis of Light - both are divine rank 4
Count of Aether - divine rank 3
Viscount of Wood, Viscount of Metal - both are divine rank 2
Baron of Ice, Baron of Electricity - both are divine rank 1
Names don't have to be related to their element (so a Duke Terras isn't necessary).
Thanks in advance.

Names should fit with the races of the persones.
Perhaps you should let us know what races they are. If you think some should be sertain races that is.
@Aegis, don't give him wrong ideas!

Not bad...
Anyway, what races they are? These guys are not members of races. They are all unique beings, they cannot be classified into existing races.
If it help, I can give you a rundown of what they are supposed to be.
The first seven of them (the dukes, the marquises (?) and the count) are called the Guardian Devas. They were created by the monotheistic god that presides over the world to see to its functions in some cases (like the marquis of light brings light during the daytime, since there is no sun) or to guard it from incursions by outsiders, mainly demons. The viscounts and barons are the "children" of some of the dukes (not really, since the are all sexless). The viscounts of wood and metal are the offspring of the duke of earth, the baron of electricity is the offspring of the duke of air and the baron of ice is the offspring of the duke of water.
Also, each of these beings has a symbolic creature. A creature that is always identified with it, and is one of their forms (the others being a heavily armored humanoid and an angel with heavy elemental undertones). Here are the totems:
air - fairy
fire - horse
earth - hydra
water - whale
light - hawk
darkness - bat
aether - tiger
wood - dragon
metal - snake
electricity - wolf
ice - bear

Okay I have my names, I have my world, I have my enemies of said world. I only need one more thing! Like I said in a previous post, all of the dukes have offspring. The duke of fire also has one, she is known as the "child of fire" since her name is not to be spoken (she left the light of The Blessed Creator and joined the ranks of Archos, monarch of the spire demons) I need a true name for her, since it'll play an important plot device. Suggestions?
The names of the Protectorates:
Earth - Glaeron (perceived as male)
Air - Layoren (perceived as female)
Fire - Monarek (perceived as male)
Water - Norivan (perceived as female)
Light - Lucerin (perceived as female)
Darkness - Motakori (perceived as female)
Aether/Void/Nature - Razenar (perceived as male)
Wood/Dragons - Narij (perceived as male)
Metal - Sokaya (perceived as male)
Electricity - Ter Firr Loq (perceived as male)
Ice - Do'elsii (perceived as female)
