I live in Mexico, and here (because it can differ greatly depending on the country and even the area of the country you´re talking about) they are called (colloquially - I´m not sure what the official names might be, but regular people know them as these names):

Cantaloupe: melón
Watermelon: sandía
Honeydew: melón verde

hope that helps
