Yes, there is Comet, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Cupid, Donner, Dasher, and Blitzen.
A Visit from St. Nicholas was created in 1823.
That would be cool.
The reindeers' names are from the 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" ("The Night Before Christmas"). The reindeer are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. Children often memorize this poem, with each of the reindeer in order.
Yes, it is clearly part of the Santa story that his reindeer fly. The concept goes back at least as far as Clement Moore's poem the Night Before Christmas (A Visit from St. Nicholas) "Then up to the rooftop his coursers they flew, with a sleighful of toys and St. Nicholas too."
While some northern European traditions associated St. Nicolas with a sleigh and reindeer for transportation, the idea of Santa and his eight original reindeer appear to have come primarily from Clement Moore's "A Visit From St. Nicholas." Written in 1823, it gives the names of Santa's team as Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen. "Donder" would later become "Donner." Rudolph was added in the mid-twentieth century due to the popularity of the song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."

Two of the reindeer names, Donner/Donder and Blitzen, are often the source of confusion, misspelling, and misinformation. The short facts are these: Donner/Donder and Blitzen were named ''Dunder'' and ''Blixem'' (the Dutch words for ''thunder'' and ''lightning'') in the original printing of "A Visit From St. Nicholas." In reprints of the poem, the names became ''Donder'' and ''Blixen,'' then ''Donder'' and ''Blitzen'' (the latter being German for ''lightning''). By the time Johnny Marks wrote "Rudolph," it was ''Donner'' and ''Blitzen'' (possibly because ''Donder'' was musically awkward). See Snopes.com for a thorough discussion.
