    Top 2 are plug adapters (and probably power adapters too. I would call the bottom 3 power bricks, I guess the defining thing is bricks have a permanent cable.

      No seriously, I always get blank stares when I ask people, I've called them wall chargers or power bricks, my friend called them plug chargers, my fiancee calls them dongles. What do you call these around your house, like when you're asking someone if they've seen any (______)'s

            Charger block/brick. I'm definitrly siding with you; "dongle" is a bit of a stretch for these.

                USB chargers.

                "Dongles" are wire to wire USB adapters for computers. Sound "cards", Ethernet adapters, video adapters.

                          When I'm speaking English, I think I call them USB-to-outlet-thingy. Otherwise it's almost, but not exactly a direct translation: USB-Stecker.

                                Last one doesn’t make sense any more, iPhones have been usb-c for a couple years now.
