I can only think of four off the top of my head: full, new, waxing, and waning. Hope those help!

1st new moon, 2nd waxing crescent, 3rd first quarter, 4th waxing gibbous, 5th full moon, 6th waning gibbous, 7th third quarter, 8th waning crescent, then cycle starts over at new moon. this takes about 29.5 days.
