===General reasonings===

==== Use ~~or reference~~ established names if they do not cause confusion ====

==== Use established names if they do not cause confusion ====

Notable non-temperament names are incorporated into TAMNAMS. Examples of such names include ''mosh'' (from Graham Breed's naming scheme), ''tcheretonic'' (in reference to Alexander Tcherepnin's 9-note scale), ''oneirotonic'', ''balzano'', and ''diatonic.''

~~Temperament-based~~ names are ~~generally avoided except where the temperaments in question are exceptionally notable~~. ~~Names~~ include ''~~pine~~'', ''~~hyrulic~~'', ''~~jaric~~'', ~~''ekic''~~ and ''~~lemon''; however 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~~.

==== Use names that describe an interval quality ====

Several mosses are named after an interval or a (diatonic) interval quality. Such mosses include ''smitonic'', ''gramitonic'', ''semiquartal'', and ''sinatonic''.

Temperament-based names ending in the prefix ''-oid'' – namely ''machinoid'', ''sephiroid'', and ''dicoid'' – refer to [[Exotemperament|exotemperaments]] (low-accuracy temperaments) which, when including extreme tunings, 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).

==== Reference notable temperaments ====

Direct use of temperament-based names is generally avoided except where the temperaments in question are exceptionally notable. Names include ''pine'', ''hyrulic'', ''jaric'', ''ekic'' and ''lemon''; however 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.

Therefore, edos with simple step ratios for that mos will correspond to valid tunings for that temperament (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 (or 2 to 10 steps, when including the extended named range for mosses with 6 steps or fewer). 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.
