Actually, most of the ones you listed ARE different chiles, not just
different names.  

Chilipeno- is a hybrid jalapeno that is absolutley HUGE.  I grew these
last year and am grwoing them again this year.  There is no mistaking
them for an ordinary jalapeno.

Chilitepen (chiltepin)- is another name for the fiery Tepin.  I grew
these last year as well and will have them planted for the open fields
this fall.  

Chilipiquin- is another name for Pequin (Piquin).  It bears no
resemblance to any of the others.  At the risk of being repetitive, this
is another that I grew last year and will be present again this year.

New mex 6-4, Big Jim, and Joe Parker are all types of new Mexicans, but
they are all different.  Parker is the hottest, Big Jim the largest, and
6-4 one of the most common.  I've grown all of these as well.

Sorry that this probably wasn't much help to you, but it gives you an
idea of just how many differing types of chiles there are!
