Here is a list of six well known to many pagans:
Isis, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demetre, Kali, Inanna.
There is a lesser known God Chant as well:
Odin, Curnunnos, Myrddin (oops, used up my 10--I can't offer Manannon, Neptune and Osiris
Seriously, I believe that there many names for Deity--far too many to list here.
Oh, and Moises_Frias, saying that the when the Ancient Hebrews said "Gods," they didn't really mean Gods, is a weak argument. One can ignore any inconsistency by saying, "Oh, when they said X, they really meant Y just like we do--no contradition."

One God, many names. Also, God has his friends, the gods (many, many... perhaps innumerable), and also his children, the gods. But we give the gratitude and glory only to our Creator (and his appointed proxies), the Divine Originator of the Plan of Salvation, from whom all blessings flow.
Why this number? Because all life is eternal in nature, and all beings of Light are infinite in scope. We are all one, when we are in God, and God is in us.
One day we will be like Him... if we follow His ways... although we will never approach Him in Light, as he is so far more advanced than us. Which is why he leads us by the hand... little children, with the potential to be adults. He gives us so very much... working in our hearts, as much as he is able to enter therein, by our own choices.
We are gods in embryo.... God's works are infinite. His work is to bring about the divinity of us all.

There is only one true and living GOD. We as human like to create and make gods of everything. Any thing you put before the true and living GOD is a god. Your car, food, spouse, a priest that is just a man, TV is a big one, things you bow down to, need more?
Ephesians 4:4-6 (New International Version)
4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Bible allegory compares Two: This God vs That God.
This God was in Jesus alienating the world: Law
That God was in Christ reconciling the world: Grace.
That God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.
But maybe there are three if the real God is "excepted",
and only greatest of three things never fails anyone ever.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

There are 4 Gods.
First you must realize they are Gods because "we" called them "Gods".
Jesus told us that there is only one "true God", that is God the Father, whom no man has ever heard His voice, nor seen His shape. The Father created all that was created.
The Christ, made everything that was made, for that which His Father created. In the beginning "we" called Him LORD God.
Jesus told us that there is another father, the father of lies and of the "tares". He said "I am that I am", but "we" called him God also. Most follow this God, know to the Christ as Satan, mammon. Luke 4:6
The last one we called God, was the messenger of God, the Holy Spirit, He is the voice that "we" called God.

I counted fourteen.
The Bible god was created by a larger god, who was created by a still larger god, and it goes back to -- fourteen, but then the situation get a little murky, and I'm not sure -- why do you ask?

There is but 1 God, and He is the great I AM, or Yahweh. In English, this translates to Jehovah. The other gods that you are referring to are symbols for their god. Many of them are stone statues or idols. Not God Almighty. It would also have to do with the language one would speak. It's not that God has many different names, but it is that WE have many different languages.
