The numbers, we know - but figuring out the Monitor's names is more challenging. First off, notice the number of letters in their names.
Guilty - 6 Letters
Spark - 5 Letters
Penitent - 8 Letters
Tangent - 7 Letters
The first name has one more letter than the second name, and the second name has one less letter than the first. So, the number of letters in each Monitor's name should be like...

Let's start with the first names. They all have something in common. Look at the definitions.
Guilty - Responsible for a wrong.
Penitent - Feeling a sorrow for a wrong that one has done.
They each have something to do with a wrong doing or being guilty of something. To do this next part, the word has to mean the same thing as guilty, and it has to fit in the spaces.

The second part of the name is more tricky.
Spark - to cause a function; a very small amount (of interest).
Tangent - a change of subject currently being discussed.
So, a similarity between the two words could be.... impulsive?
