Apocrypha: Just had to chime in because your example names cracked me up so hard. ![Cheesy :D](https://paranetonline.com/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)
Another suggestion might be to mine some lesser-known mythologies. Look up Slavic, African, Native American, South Asian... lots of cultures have fairy tales and mythological creatures. Maybe you can find a word that clicks for you that fits the races well enough, tweak the spelling a bit or whatever. Fantasy authors do this all the time.
