Trader Vic's Rock Candy syrup is the only one I make up
myself as it's so easy to make & rather pointless to buy.

The list of different syrups is probably too long to compile.
In a country like the UK, we can only buy syrups in specialty shops
and there's usually a selection of about 5 at most. In a French supermarket
there's usually a whole section devoted to syrups, with numerous brands
of the popular flavours, as well as a whole host of other weird & wonderful
syrups. I guess they use them for a variety of uses...over ice-cream, as a
drink with a splash of soda, etc, etc. They seem to sell a lot of raspberry,
strawberry, and blackcurrent, but also mint & anise flavours are popular.

I tend to stick with the ones I use the most of - Orgeat/Passionfruit/Grenadine
and try out the odder ones when I find them cheap abroad.
