dasher dancer prancer comet donner blitzen this isn't all of them...but the ones I know

Add vixen and cupid

Well, there's: Dasher and Dancer and Prancer, and Vixen, Comet, and Cupid and Donner, and Blitzen. But do you recall, the most famous reindeer of all?? Rudolph the red nosed reindeer... As the song goes at least.

"Santa Claus's reindeer are a team of flying animals traditionally held to pull his sleigh and help him deliver Christmas gifts. The commonly cited names of the reindeer are based on those used in the 1823 poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, arguably the basis of reindeer's popularity as Christmas symbols, where they are called Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder and Blixem. Dunder was later changed to Donder and — in other works — Donner, and Blixem was later changed to Blitzen. The subsequent popularity of the Christmas song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" has led to another reindeer name joining the popular roll-call." "The original eight reindeer The anonymously-published poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (also known as "The Night Before Christmas" or "Twas the Night Before Christmas") is largely credited for the contemporary Christmas lore, including the eight flying reindeer and their names. In the poem, Santa's transport is a "miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer" and the reindeer are "more rapid than eagles." The poem does not describe them, nor their positions in the sleigh-team, but does say they fly. The relevant segment of the poem reads: With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came, And he whistled and shouted and called them by name: Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Dunder and Blixem! To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall! and off and off we will fly! Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all! In An American Anthology, 1787–1900, Edmund Clarence Stedman reprints the 1844 Clement Clarke Moore version of the poem, including the German spelling of "Donder and Blitzen," rather than the original 1823 version using the Dutch spelling, "Dunder and Bliksem." Both phrases translate as "Thunder and Lightning" in English, though German for thunder is now spelled Donner, and the Dutch words would nowadays be spelled Donder and Bliksem. Since this poem, other books, movies, and music have contributed to the Christmas reindeer lore. The 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street, for example, asserts that reindeer can only fly on Christmas Eve." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus%27s_reindeer

i found this on another Forus and found it was the best answer as i was looking to find out as we have santa and the 9 reindeer to se up.. The Answer was this.. Dasher - The first reindeer and the right-hand leader of the sleigh before Rudolph was included. He is the speediest reindeer. Dancer - The second reindeer and the left leader before Rudolph was included. She is the graceful reindeer. Prancer - The third reindeer and on the right in the second row. He is the most powerful reindeer. Vixen - The fourth reindeer and on the left-hand side in the second row. She is beautiful, and also powerful like her companion Prancer. Comet - The fifth reindeer and on the right-hand side in the third row. He brings wonder and happiness to children when Santa flies over everyone's houses. Cupid - The sixth reindeer and on the left-hand side in the third row. She brings love and joy to children when Santa flies over everyone's houses. Dunder - The seventh reindeer and on the right-hand side in the fourth row. He is the "thunder" reindeer. Dunder/Donder’s name is often misspoken as Donner, in fact it is spoken wrong so often that most people believe it to be the latter. Blixem - The eighth reindeer and on the left-hand side in the fourth row. She is the "lightning" reindeer, but in American pop culture Blixem/Blitzen is frequently portrayed as a male (for instance, in the animated Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Blitzen is the coach of the reindeer games).
