I don't know them all but here are some Circle = En/Maru Triangle = Sankakkei / Sankaku Square = Seihoukei / Mashikaku Rectangle = Chouhoukei/ Nagashikaku Oval/ Ellipse = Daen Trapezoid = Daikei

I can add a couple more: Hexagon = rokkakukei (六角形) Octagon = hakkakkukei(八角形) (so the number of angles corresponds to kakukei (or kakkei in a slang).
