Venus was the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility in Roman Mythology and has no other names, per se. There is another name for a goddess of love from the Greek Mythology, Aphrodite, a corresponding goddess between the two "religions". Another mythological deity with similar attributes was Turan, in the Etruscan Mythology.
You may be thinking of various epithets that were often added to the name of Venus to describe the various roles and aspects of the goddess. For example, she was known as Venus Felix, which meant Lucky Venus, and Venus Libertina, Venus the Freedwoman. There are very many of these epithets, for a full list see the link to the WikiPedia website in the related links section of this question below.
