====Alter temperament-based names wherever used====
Several mosses are supported by notable temperaments and are named after them, namely ''pine'', ''hyrulic'', ''jaric'', ''ekic'' and ''lemon''; these are heavily abstracted forms of the original temperament names of porcupine, triforce, pajara, echidnoid, and lemba, respectively.
Several mosses are supported by notable temperaments and are named after them, namely ''pine'', ''hyrulic'', ''jaric'', ''ekic'' and ''lemon''; these reference (in the case of ''hyrulic'') or are heavily abstracted forms of the original temperament names of porcupine, triforce, pajara, echidnoid, and lemba, respectively.


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).

==== Name mosses most likely to see use====
Names are given to mosses that are the most likely to be used by musicians. As such, TAMNAMS primarily provides mosses within the range of 6 to 10 steps. This range is chosen to avoid naming large mosses for the sake of naming, though some mosses outside the named range have been given unique, though possibly idiosyncratic, names of their own.
Names are given to mosses that are the most likely to be used by musicians. As such, TAMNAMS primarily provides mosses within the range of 6 to 10 steps (or 2 to 10 steps, when including the expanded named range). This range is chosen to avoid naming large mosses for the sake of naming, though some mosses outside the named range have been given unique, though possibly idiosyncratic, names of their own.

====Names for monolarge mosses====
====Monolarge mosses====
Monolarge mosses (mosses of the form 1L ''n''s) were originally left unnamed due to the tuning ranges for these mosses being so large that they were unhelpful with knowing how they sound. This stance was reconsidered and names have been given since it's useful for describing structure in situations where one does not want to use the mathematical name, and especially in such contexts, the tuning will likely be specified.

===Former names===
Several names have been changed significantly, as naming principles have evolved to what they are currently, or due to the meaning behind these names being called into question. Former names are provided here for reference, as some names still see some use among users. Changes to spelling are not considered significant and are thus not included here.
