You have been given very professional advice about the techniques and let me address the lingo part of your question.
The names in your questions are understood without problems, but I have to say that they are English, or at best coined English words with Japanese pronunciations. First of all, in your case “jodan” or “chudan” should come first. Second, if the mae geri is jodan, “ganmen” should be taken away as you are kicking the head anyway. I am by no means criticizing those who address their techniques with these names so please do not take offense. I have seen many of these "constructed names" used outside Japan and I think interestingly they have become a part of our Kyokushin tradition.
It is more important to perform a technique right then to say it “authentically”. As Kyokushin belongs to the whole world, these minor variations I think do not really matter.
OSU!
