 Wicca has always incorporated the concept of dual deities, the god and goddess, the ying and yang. One is not preferable over the other and a goddess is just as powerful as a god. The gender doesn't matter in the form of strength or hierarchy. For example there is the Sun God, but the  name of the sun god differs depending on the culture you were in - Roman, Greek, Egyptian, etc. Some of these deities have more than one name even in the same location, like Ammon is also known as Amon and Amon-ra. Calling the deity by any of the names given is allowed and common.
