The proper chemical name is indeed water. Dihydrogen Monoxide can be used for trickery (see link).

"water" is the word that refers to a substance made up of molecules with a chemical composition of 2H's and 1O or H2O for short. Calling water "dihydrogen monoxide" is correct but an unusual and lengthy technical way to refer to water and using it as the name for water would be unnecessarily cumbersome.
Then again "hydrogen peroxide" is also known as "dihydrogen dioxide" as well as "H2O2." For similar reasons, I don't think calling peroxide "dihydroxide" (OH)2 is advisable either.TWH 08252006

Water is the accepted term.
Dihydrogen monoxide, or hydrogen hydroxide are terms used by people who are trying to show off a bit, or to hide their true meaning from someone else.

Aqua
Hydrogen oxide
Dihydrogen monoxide
Hydrogen hydroxide
These are all terms used for water. H20 isn't the proper chemical name for water, it is the molecular formula, and the only one for true water.

hydrogen hydroxide would be a more correct way.... but its name is water and is accepted by science to be that.... dihydrogen mononixed is incorrect, refer to the rules of binary nomenclature
