"All" is a big request--there are many. Here are some representative examples, some of which fit neatly into the familiar Maiden-Mother-Crone trinity and some which do not:
(1) The Norns (Norse): Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld
(2) The Triple Hekatae (Hellenic)
(3) The "Weird Sisters" (fates) (British)
(4) The Graeae (Hellenic)
(5) The Wyrdes (Scottish)
(6) Y Mamau, "the Three Mothers" (Welsh)
(7) Badb (Celtic)
(8) Banba (Celtic)
(9) Breg (Celtic)
(10) Brigid (Celtic)
(11) Cailleach Beara (Celtic)
(12) The Dervonnae (Celtic)
(13) Gwenhwyfar (Celtic)
(14) Macha (Celtic)
(15) Medb (Celtic)
(16) Morrigan (Celtic)
(17) Nemain (Celtic)
(18) Niskai (Celtic)
(19) The Proximae (Romano-Celtic)
(20) The Graces (Hellenic)
(21) The Gorgons: Medusa, Euryale, & Stheno (pre-Hellenic)
(22) Lala/Lotis/Losa (Etruscan)
(23) The Erinyes (Furies) (pre-Hellenic)
(24) The Ridjenice, or Fates (Croatian)
(25) The Narucnici, or Fates (Bulgarian)
(26) The Sudice, or Fates (Polish)
(27) Pang Che, Pang Jiao, and Pang Zhu, the Corpse Goddesses (China)
(28) Parvati in her three aspects (India)
And there are many, many others--this is very much a worldwide religious pattern.

There are many many triple goddesses. They are called so because they represent the maiden, mother and crone aspect of the Goddesses all in one. I have not worked with many pantheons but I know a few.
Hathor - Egyptian goddess
Hecate - Greek Goddess
I would suggest looking into a particular pantheon for more information on who the triple goddess is in that pantheon.

There's a number of other entries with a goodly number of names, so I'll leave that to their entries. However, I'd like to point out that the "form" for the triplicity is not always the "maiden-mother-crone" that some people think it is. In fact, outside of groups like the Fates, you generally encountered sisters, or tri-form goddesses (such as the three Brighids).

There is only the one. She has too many names to list.
Even in antiquity when L.Apuleius wrote "The Golden A.s.s" (sorry about the spelling, these silly Americans don't know it's just a donkey) Her names were myriad and the hero just chose the one that he was most familiar with.
I'm sure Wikipedia could help you find out many names.

Medusa, Murda and their sister, they were the Gorgons, not exactly goddesses. In India, we have Lakshmi, Goddess of Wealth(wife of Vishnu), Parvati (wife of Shiva), Saraswati, Goddess of Learning and Wisdom (wife of Brahma).

the main triple goddesses are hecate, in greek mythology, brigid, in celtic.
the three aspects are just the three "ages" of woman, maiden, matron, crone, and do not have individual names.
