Merry - The Monster slayer
The faithful warden - Bergil
The one trapped on rock - Beregond (gond means rock)
The 'stern one hiding grief' could also refer to Denethor.

Almost all correct, including the fact that some characters appear twice- and you've identified all of them.
I may as well give you the whole thing, or rather Faramir's half of it:
The one trapped on a rock -Finduilas of Dol Amroth, who "withered in the guarded city, as a flower of the seaward vales set upon a barren rock."
The beloved sibling lost -Boromir.
The one who died by fire -Denethor.
The like-named maiden -Finduilas, again.
The stern one, hiding grief -Denethor, again.
The gold girl, waked from sleep -Éowyn.
The monster-slayer -Éowyn, again.
And the faithful warden. -Beregond.
