The monads that were harder for me to understand while learning Haskell had quite plain names like "State" and "Continuation". I don't think alternative naming would have helped. By the way, while I'm not sure the monad concept would be useful for all languages, I believe monoid really should become common parlance. It's such a simple and useful idea.
