Minor Good Gods

Discountius: the good god of minor goods, renown for carrying his Cornucoupia, a horn from which one may draw an infinite number of discount chits, valid at merchants everywhere. Any mortal who pleases him may draw 2 handsfull from its depth.

Bogovinia: sister of Discountius, she is the goddess of extremely good shoppers, rewarding her faithful with the ability to find buy one, get one bargains on goods...especially from shoemakers and seamstresses.

Decos - God of Good Balance, Lord of the Flailing Arms, He-Who-Cannot-Be-Tripped. He is the unseen god who prevents one from tumbling over (at the last moment) or otherwise falling on one's face. Though he prefers his worshippers to stand on their own two feet, he is always there to pick them up (or at least their spirits), when they fall.

Evias - God of the Blade, Lord of the Good Cut, He-Of-Sharp-Wit. Evias lives in the blade of noble and true warriors who pledge honor and duty by the blade that serves him. When Evias dwells within your blade, it cannot be broken or dulled unless its wielder first breaks his own pledge.

Hathias - God of Hawkish Vision, The Squinter, She-Of-Tunnel-Vision. Narrow, squinting eyes mark the worshipper of Hathias, who are gifted with True Vision to see through lies and through to the hearts of villians. She is quick to abandon those with envious eyes, but strengthens and focuses those of the wise.

I am thinking of two:

God of Taming & Domestication: Often seen as primarily a god of farmers and gardeners, he is also a god or heroic figure to canines. Some stories place his origin as the brother or child of whatever deity governs slavery, and others the divinely infused spirit of the first wolf to befriend a man.

God of Good Sense: Real good and evil exist in the world, but that does not mean that it is necessarily any more accessible to the common person. This god represents or facilitiates the bridging with understanding the gap between the limited perspective of mortals and the nearly infinite perspective of the gods, allowing them to see more clearly the good and evil in the world.
 



Pacificus, stops babies from crying
Fix, god of mending
Ventar, provides needed minor items, like if you've forgotten the 10' pole
Spark, lights small fires, such as for cooking
The Muses
Inspire, encourages potential heroes

Chinese myth has many minor gods, such as:

Theodorus, god of accidental charity.

From Jim C. Hines "Jig the goblin" series - Tymalous Shadowstar, god of autumn star, of ageing and peaceful death.

Amygdala, demigoddes of, well - amygdala.

Calvin, demigod of improvised child-games.

Tapas, demigod of quick, yet nutritive snacks.

Bronhel, god of early groceries shipping, often part of gods of dawn pantheons.
Brimma, goddess of crispy bread, and that sweet smell of bakery. often part of gods of dusk pantheons.

The infamous Dampus, god of watermelons. While lawful good, there was blood spilled and teeth spit in a number of holy, well, brawls, over what fruits are and aren't watermelons (there is some speculation, that Croats migrated south of europe because they couldn't stand Poles who are calling arbuz melon, and melon arbuz. This theory is contested by those who claim that if that was the case - they could've teamed up with Czechs, since Poles keep calling truskavka jagoda, and jahoda - truskawka).

Speaking of ruined reputations, not many know that Sanford, god of sharpies started out as lawful good. Like many others, he was doomed by internet.

Obscure gods

There's a quote from the Kate Novak & Jeff Grubb novel Finder's Bane one how overpopulated with gods Faerun is- from Ilsensine:

Now we recall. The slayer of Moander. A demi-power worshipped only in Abeir-Toril. There's so many gods worshipped in that world it's hard to keep track of them all. We wouldn't be surprised that they have a god there with dominion over the tableware and ale mugs.

Maybe we should describe the god of tableware and ale mugs? :)
