Tom,
According to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket_(punctuation), the () [], {} and <> are all considered to be "brackets", but the common names are:
() Parentheses [] Square Brackets {} Braces <> Angle Brackets
with alternate names as follows:
() Round Brackets, Curved Brackets, Parens, Fingernails [] Crochets (in Great Britain, apparently) {} Curly Brackets
Just FYI...

Good overview, Ken. Just one addition for alternatives:
<> Sharp Brackets
