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

...and the DEVIL said: "...yes, but it's a DRY heat!"

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.
