No, Rudolph was developed by a catalogue copyrighter for Montgomery Wards in an effort to add a thematic character to keep the kids turning the pages to the toy section ( Sears did much the same with Dennis the Menace). The popular song was written in I believe l943 by one Johnny Marks- and the rest is history. Rudolph does NOT figure in the poem ( The Night before Christmas) where there are eight tiny reindeer and it is implied Santa has size-control and shape-shifting powers to get down the chimney- this miniaturization aspect is ignored by most modern Claus-pushers as it is TOO FAR OUT.
Yes
Yes, one of Santa's reindeers is called Prancer.

There is only one we know for certain and that is Vixen, because the word refers to a female fox. Either she has a lovely red coat or she is very clever.
Donner is one of Santas reindeer, but not Bonner.

Ruldolph the red nose raindeer is a fictional character portrayed to Christian children around christmas time. Ruldolph lives in the North pole with Santa Claus, the other raindeer and elves who make the toys. He is said to have been born with a red nose that lights up. All the other raindeer made fun of him and 'laughed and called him names', however one Christmas eve santa was worying because it was foggy and so he wouldnt be able to deliver all the toys to the children. Santa asked Ruldolph if he would lead his sleigh using the red light on his nose to see through the fog. From that day on Rulpdolph has lead santas sleigh, flying through the air to deliver childrens christmas presents on new years eve. The idea of the story i think is to show children that it can be good to be different. Most children on christmas eve leave a carrot for Ruldolph to say thank you for helping santa delivering the presents safely. There is numeous christmas movies about Ruldolph and a song. He obviously gets his name from the fact his nose is red.
Yes, there is Comet, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Cupid, Donner, Dasher, and Blitzen.
Hermie is one of santas helpers who wishes to instead be a dentist.
