I believe you already know of the major ones like Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and their consorts. Actually they are kings of their independent heavens, and they have a lot of gods live in their kingdoms under their authority. Just like we humans.

One crore means ten millions ! so how to list out?

Where do you get the name list in the first place? none!

33 crore could mean:
1) those of 33 heavens centered by Indra-loka
2) simply just an amount, you don't have to bother so hardly
3) 33 species or organisations of gods

blah.....

Now those 33 c have increased to 150 crores in India only.
Each person is considered God in Hindu religion, as every body has the the energy energising him as the God..

According to Ishwareeya Philosophy it is the total number of people who lived at the end of Thretayuga. They were called as gods. We cant list out their names. One thing you have to understand is never a god lived in this earth as we seeing in temple or calender, photo. We were calling Sri Krishna, Sri Narayana, Sri Lakshmi, Sri Rama, etc. as gods because of their qualities. They lived purely, they lived peacefully, they were law full and love full. It was a wander full history nobody can imagine. But it is true.

There is only one God!
"ekam sad vipra bahuda vadanti" means there is only one God, but the learned call him by different names. This one is from our religious text.
God has immense number of att tributes; there is a name eachfor the various aspects of His qualities; Hence the mis-interpretation. Wish I could explain to you in detail, the Vedic concept of God, Nature and the Soul !

basically there are only 3 gods and 3 godess.

1. Brhma-- the creater
2. Vishnu -- the manager
3. Shiva-- distroyer for recycling

godess:
1. Laxmi-- godess of wealth
2. Saraswati-- godess of knowledge
3. Shakti/durga -- Godess of power

Rest all gods are avatars or son/daughter of these gods and godesses.
