Perhaps something like this to set up things:

   varNames = {"r", "g", "s", "somethingElse"};
   vars = ToExpression /@ varNames;

Next, calculate the values; here I just assign them:

   vars = {20, 2.34, m^2 + D, "Hello, world!"};

Finally, create your table. Here are two ways, the second with an 
embellishment:

   Transpose[{varNames, vars}] // TableForm
   Grid[Transpose[{varNames, vars}], Frame -> All]

If you prefer to start with the symbols for the variables instead of the 
names, then just reverse, essentially, the first two lines of code:

   Clear[r, g, s, somethingElse]
   vars = {r, g, s, somethingElse};
   varNames = ToString /@ vars;
