I'll just quote "Fields and Waves in Modern Radio", by Ramo/Whinnery, 2nd edition, page 318: 1. TEM (transverse electromagnetic waves), 2. TM (transverse magnetic waves), 3. TE (transverse electric waves).

What are the common name of electromagnetic waves?

The common name for electromagnetic waves is just that: "electromagnetic waves". There is no other commonly used term. Specific parts of the spectrum have common names, for example light (or visible light), radio waves, x-rays, etc. - but none of this means exactly the same as "electromagnetic waves". Visible light, for instance, is just one type (or frequency range) of electromagnetic waves.
