3 separate people from Tanach. (You can be a little creative with these.)

Butcher - Avraham Avinu (bris Bein habesarim)
Baker - Sar HaOfeh
Candlestick maker - Betzalel (menorah)

A word that has 3 meanings:

In the Torah it has wings
In the gemara it has horns
In the megilla it appears twice

The riddle sounds better in Hebrew as it rhymes:

בתורה הוא מופיע עם כנפיים
בגמרא הוא מופיע עם קרניים
ובמגילה הוא מופיעה פעמיים

5 of the 6 couples whose names start with the same letter have been identified (as well as some others I didn't have in mind):

Aharon and Elisheva
Noach and Naama
Esther and Achashveirosh
Achav and Izevel
Osniel ben Kenaz and Achsa.

There's one more I had in mind - it's in sefer Bereishis.
