Since the phases repeat continuously throughout the lifetime of a person, it's hard to say

where the beginning of the cycle is.

Many cultures consider the beginning to be the phase where you can't see any of the moon at all.

Which leads naturally to the name by which that phase is commonly known ... "New Moon".

If you accept that point as the beginning of the cycle, then the phase in the middle of the cycle

is the "Full Moon".
