That's cute. They make some nice petty gods.

I went a bit more back to basics at one point and created this pantheon 
years ago, all based on appellations of the Greek/Roman/other gods, with 
some Discworld and further fantasy influences.
It's mostly supposed to be a generic pantheon, but I tried to make the 
names as obscure as possible. Except Tyche. Because you aren't supposed 
to talk about her.
