I'm playing around and need to know legitimate names for these chords I'm using. I've figured out names for 4 of them but I'm stuck on a couple as of right now. So I'm going to do tabs of the chords and hope you can help me. I'm obviously playing this with a capo on the 4th but can't seem to find what I'm looking for in the chordbook. I'm just trying to get a real name for the chords rather than just the name of the shape.
Dm shape
e 5
B 7
G 6
D 4
A 4
E 4
Gmaj shape
e 7
B 7
G 4
D 4
A 6
E 7
Finally, I got this one that I came up with a name for but was unsure if it made any sense: C#AugSus4
Asus4 shape
e 4
B 7
G 6
D 6
A 4
E 4
Alrighty, those are the ones I couldn't figure out. If any of you guys can provide me with some sort of answer, that'd be great.

...looks like you're transposing chords from a song that used a capo.
top chord is F#m
middle chord is B
bottom chord is C#sus4 (there's no aug or #5 note)
...if you really want a C#augsus4, try this:
e 4 = 5 (can be either 5 or #5, depending upon melody note)
B 7 = sus4 (sus4 replaces 3)
G 6 = R
D 7 = #5 (aug = #5)
A x (not played)
E x (not played)
...sorta like a DM7 with the treble (E1) string note dropped flat a halfstep

Capo'd at 4th fret they would be:
X-4-4-6-7-5 = F#m
7-6-4-4-7-7 = Bmaj
X-X-6-6-7-X = C#sus4

Awesome, thank you both very much. I just needed to have these chord names so my friend could have a better idea of what to do when he plays along with me on the keyboard. Thanks again.
