Well you sure are "bored" guy. I don't think they all have a name to their names.

But I will give you the Japanese name for them:

SC = Soarer
GS = Aristo
IS = Altezza
LS = Celsior
RX = Harrier
ES = Windom

The four "original" Lexus vehicles (released 1993 or earlier) were:

ES = Executive Sedan
GS = Grand Sedan
LS = Luxury Sedan
SC = Sports Coupe

Also, in Japan, the LX470 is the Land Cruiser Cygnus, and the IS300 SportCross is the Altezza Gita.
