This article is about hatched monster names. For name origins of each monster, see Monsters' names origin; for names of Monsters, see Monsters.
Every time a newly-hatched monster is placed on an island, the game gives it a name, randomly selected from a list unique to each monster type. The player can change the monster's name at any time after that. Teleporting a monster to another island doesn't change its name.
The Windows version of the game has a peculiar limitation: although some of the monsters' default names can include spaces and punctuation characters, the game won't allow players to type anything but letters into new monster names. The mobile-device versions of the game don't have this restriction.
Below are lists of the known default names for all monsters from My Singing Monsters and Dawn of Fire, in alphabetical order.

Community Contests
- According to the Schmoochle naming event, 15 different names were selected to become some of the possible default names of the Schmoochle.
- On the Facebook page about the Repatillo's introduction, there was a contest of the 10 most-liked monster names for the Repatillo. The contest ended on Thursday 26th November 2015, noon at Eastern Time. The results for all of the ten new names given are Staccato, Picadillo, Zilla, Purplejam, Pikoliz, Shelldon, Rupert, Scalar, Armin, and Rock-N-Raptor. The link to it is here.
- The eleven nicknames given to the Yelmut from the community contest are Yamooka, Natiku, Kanaloa, Tsukasha, Lono, Nahoa, Biiki, Xibalba, Slimeba, Dalagmite, Escargoon. Originally, only ten names were meant to be chosen, but as there was a tie for tenth place, the Monster-Handlers decided to use eleven instead. The results are here.
- The ten given names given to the Wynq from the community contest are Clopsie, Shrimpi, Eayan, Skeye, Plankie, Thynq, Jumby, Ojo, Lunk, and Toothiefruttie. The results are here.
- Two of this wiki's users have participated in two of the ten successful names. Skeye was nominated by Qwertyxp2000 the second, while Toothiefruttie was nominated by Punctdan.
- No competition of naming was given for the Barrb, which came in Version 1.6.0 of Dawn of Fire alongside the Pango. This since had stopped this naming type of competition, as all future fire monsters released between Barrb and Drummidary were given pre-chosen nicknames by the Monster Handlers instead. Although later, Incisaur broke this trend.
- During the 21st episode of MSM live, the ten nicknames for the upcoming Dawn of Fire four element monster, Incisaur, were announced.
- A naming contest for Epic Schmoochle was held with the names announced on My Singing Monsters Live Episode 14 (February 8th, 2019); RachelNRoss (Caterina Cox), Faundew (Karin Robinson), Exoh (Jack Turner), Luvdwun (Jake), Doscocos (Marisa Lyn), Rhom'anze (Kimberly Tattersfield), Cocolaite (TheGhaztFan), Kewpidd (Brendan Chuuster), Gump (Kayla Kukowski), BonBonNClyde (Larry Mantic)
- A naming contest for Bisonorus was held with the names announced on My Singing Monsters Live Episode 36 (July 12th, 2019); Snorpodon (Dominic D.), Biggy & Smol (Headbeam), Bumboris (Brielle), Bumple & Bracket (Crowscrowns), Dubble & Trubble (RayRay), Garff & Unkel (Seedots), Grumbletooth (ItsMePythono), Hornslo (Zach V.), Mith & Fabyl (MonsterHandlerMimi), Quadhorrn (Luke M.)
- A naming contest for the Magical Sanctum Titan was held, with the 10 runners-up being used for that Island's Quad Element Monster. The names were announced on social media on April 30th, 2021; Ræn'dor (Xanderrock98), Windigowl (91111989LM), Gorl'omyth (Hydrobux), Zhojurrn (Box), Tuskalhorn (bramblestar334), Sacrowl (Monster), Staggwarrt (Fleautiful), Grömwoob (ArPro5Mio), Howlgroda (Alex), Magistrahd (Thebomb64)
- The monsters from the original My Singing Monsters share the same names as Dawn of Fire.
- The Thumpies can be named Lepth & Rhyth, Hizz & Hurzz, or Thys & Thatt as well as the Quibble.
- Rare Oaktopus and Rare Maw seem to share the same default name: Fawst.
- Rare Whisp and Toe Jammer both share the nickname "Nixie"
- Shellbeat and Ziggurab share the same default name "Scuttle". Shellbeat also shares the name "Shellby" with PomPom.
- Wubbox and Rare Wubbox both share names, which is ironic considering that they're the only Rares to have a different song. This is possibly because in the Let them meet cake trailer it is shown that the Rare Wubbox is formed from the common one.
- Potbelly and Oaktopus share the name "Rooty".
- The Hoola and its rare share many names.
