What are these called?

Hi, I'm studying woodwork in France and have been using these nails to pin mortice and tenons. They look like a cross from the top and don't have a head. They r x shaped with a point. Can anyone tell me what they are called?

No, none of these. I forgot to mention that they are galvanised.
