Mos names already in use are incorporated into TAMNAMS. Examples of such names include ''mosh'' (from Graham Breed's naming scheme), ''tcherepnin''{{Clarify}}, ''oneirotonic'' (refers to a 5L 3s scale in 13edo), ''diatonic'', and ''antidiatonic.''

Mos names are chosen so that these mosses can be discussed more independently of RTT temperaments. A few names – namely ''pine'', ''hyrulic'', ''jaric'', ''ekic'' and ''lemon'' – are all based on notable temperaments – porcupine, hyrule, pajara, echidnoid, and lemba, respectively. However, these names are heavily abstracted from the original temperament names.

Names ending in the prefix ''-oid'' – namely ''machinoid'', ''sephiroid'', and ''dicoid'' – refer to [[Exotemperament|exotemperaments]] which, when including extreme tunings, effectively cover the entirety of the corresponding mos. Therefore, edos with simple step ratios for that mos will correspond to valid tunings (if not by patent val, then with a small number of warts).

==== Assign names to mosses most likely to see use ====

Names are given to mosses that are the most likely to be used by musicians. As such, TAMNAMS only provides mosses within the range of 6 to 10 steps, as their step counts are close to that of diatonic (7 steps). Mosses with note counts greater than that are likely to be supersets (that is, daughter or ~~even~~ granddaughter mosses) of a smaller, TAMNAMS-named mos, and is recommend to see them as such.
