Someone said there were 5 cities destroyed in relation with Sodom and Gomorrah. I allways thought there were 2 of them. If there were more of them, what were their names?

Sodom and Gomorrah were the only 2 in that story. I think what that person was thinking is. during that time Sodom and Gomorrah were surrounded by 3 other cities . So back then in describing where they were they would say the "5 cities".

Actually the entire plain that Sodom and Gomorrah were in was destroyed with the exception of one city (Zoar) that Lot asked God to allow him to go to instead of the mountains. I do not know their specific names or the actual number of cities.

Deuteronomy 29:23
And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

Read Genesis chapter 13 and 14, you will find the answer there.
