I've seen this alot recently.

Here is my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

Unless they have lineage from somewhere, they are chalices.

The reason being, is that that is what lineage is for, to track pieces and it gives you a quarantee of color, growth ect.

On the flip side, there are tonssss of wild pieces out there now that may or may not be the same as a "named" piece and just as nice, or nicer.
But to say you have the "XXXXXX" piece without lineage, would be kind of mute the whole lineage thing.

Either way you have some SWEET pieces there.

I'll take a piece of 1,3,5,9 and compare them to mine though ;)

I would try and ask whoever you got them from if they sold them to you "named" - a few of those definitely look like named ones out there.

What I do is use a sharpie and write the names on the bottom of them. I also take a picture of all new shipments and save the file as the name of the person they came from, then transfer all this information to a word lineage file. It is a hassle, but can make it a lot easy when I go to sell/trade, so I don't sell someone the wrong coral - which has already happened with some sps. Luckily I was able to go back to the shipment pictures and figure out what was what.

Just my .02

I'm really sorry for my horriable pics. I'm still learning by new canon. pics are taken with canon 40D and 100mm f/2.8. But I still have problems of focusing. All of them suppose to have lineage when I bought them. But I just got into chalices for months with limited knowledge and don't want to get fooled. I specially have questions regarding #1 and #7. I was told #1 is monster mash and #7 is Ktar Melting Pot. What you all think?

definitely not...

I don't think so either. It doesn't look anything like mine.

7. could possibly be the Melting pot. Mine looks similiar but smaller.

3/9 Looks similiar. I would imagine one of them would be the Tyree pink.
