Ok, I don't need every single one, but any of their names besides Dobby and Kreacher would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Only four were named in the series. Dobby, originally belonging to the Malfoys then given his freedom thanks to Harry; introduced in book 2. Winky, originally belonged to the Crouchs she gained her freedom as punishment after she was caught holding Harry wand (which Crouch Jr had stolen and used to cast the dark mark, but she was suspected of this); introduced in book 4. Winky's mother and grandmother worked for and belonged to the Crouchs before her. Kreacher, who originally belonged to the Blacks but was inherited by Harry after Sirius's death; introduced in book 5. Like Winky, Kreacher's family had been serving the Blacks before Kreacher did, though unlike Winky his family has apparently been with the Blacks for many generations longer than Winky's did for the Crouchs based on the number of Elf heads on the wall (all apparently Kreacher's family member, but there as a supposed honor for their time of service). The fourth is Hokey, who belonged to Hepzibah Smith and was framed by a young Voldemort for her mistresses death; she was introduced in a memory in book 6.

I'm glad that you got your question answered (as they weren't many house elves named) but isn't that something you can figure out by rereading the books? I know rereading seven books to find out the name of the elves would be time consuming but you wouldn't have had to reread the first one, as they weren't any house elves in that one. Dobby was the only one until book 4, when we were introduced to Winky. Kreacher showed up in book 5, when Harry went to Grimmauld Place. Then of course there's the named house elf in the memory. It just seems weird to ask a question when you can find it out for yourself.
I'm done wasting my time. Have a good day!

There was Winky who belonged to Barty Crouch Sr. She went to work in the Hogwart's kitchens with Dobby and befriended him. The only other one besides her and Dobby and Kreacher was Hokey. She belonged to Hepzibah Smith and Harry sees her in the pensieve with Dumbledore.

Besides Dobby and Kreacher, the only other house-elf named in the books is Winky, Barty Croch's hold-elf who he dismissed in the fourth book and who came to work at Hogwarts with Dobby.
Oh and in the Half-Blood Prince in one of the memories Dumbldore shows Harry, it mentions another house-elf that belonged to the woman who owned the Hufflepuff Cup and the house-elf was convicted of the woman's murder but Voldemort really killed her. The house-elf died in Azakabn. I'll try out this house-elf's name.
EDIT: The house-elf I mentioned above was owned by Hepzibah Smith, desecendent to Helga Hufflepuff, and her house-elf's name is Hokey.
Hope this helps!

Winkie belonged to Barty Crouch.
There's one other elf named in The Half-Blood Prince. She belonged to the woman who had Hufflepuff's cup.
