The natural minor IS a mode - it's the Aeolian mode.

What you've posted are "modes" of the ascending melodic minor. In C, you've got C-D-Eb-F-G-A-B.

So if you want to call them by altered mode names, they're C Ionian b3 (but I've never heard it called that - "Jazz minor" is a much more common name), D Phrygian #6, Eb Lydian augmented (#5), F Lydian Dominant (b7), G mixolydian b6, A Aeolian b5, and the B altered dominant... it's called that because Eb = D#, so you have B-D#-A, the 1st/3rd/b7 of a B7 chord (the tritone of D# to A is what makes it a dominant chord), plus the four commonly altered tones: b5 (F), #5 (G=Fx), b9 (C) and #9 (D=Cx).
