Hi,

"8mm" is often called "normal-8" (but then, why be normal?) "standard-8", "regular-8" (it is good to be regular, though.)

Any I've forgotten?

Yes,

Just kind of a confusion over what to call the existing gauge when Kodak reconfigured the sprocket holes and called it "Super-8"

Oh, yeah, Regular-8 is sometimes called "Double-8" as well.
