There are countless galaxies in the universe, but we only have names for a small fraction of them. Most galaxies are simply identified by their catalog number, like NGC 5194 (which is also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy).

Here are some of the famous galaxies that have names:

Local Group:

* Milky Way: Our own galaxy.

* Andromeda Galaxy: The closest major galaxy to us.

* Triangulum Galaxy: Another nearby spiral galaxy.

* Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud: Satellite galaxies of the Milky Way.

Beyond the Local Group:

* Whirlpool Galaxy: A spiral galaxy with a prominent companion galaxy.

* Sombrero Galaxy: A lenticular galaxy with a distinctive dust lane.

* Black Eye Galaxy: A spiral galaxy with a prominent dark dust lane.

* Pinwheel Galaxy: A spiral galaxy with a well-defined spiral structure.

* Cigar Galaxy: An elliptical galaxy with a distinctive elongated shape.

* Antennae Galaxies: Two colliding galaxies with long, thin arms of gas and dust.

* Centaurus A: A giant elliptical galaxy with a prominent radio jet.

* NGC 4414: A spiral galaxy with a well-defined spiral structure and a prominent bar.

* M87: An elliptical galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its center.

Other Interesting Galaxies:

* Hoag's Object: A ring galaxy with a central core.

* NGC 6872: A spiral galaxy with an exceptionally long arm.

* ESO 510-G13: A ring galaxy with a ring of blue stars.

Catalogs:

* Messier (M): A catalog of 110 bright celestial objects, including galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters.

* New General Catalogue (NGC): A catalog of over 7,800 galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters.

* Index Catalogues (IC): A supplement to the NGC catalog.

It's important to remember that these are just a few of the countless galaxies in the universe. Astronomers are constantly discovering new galaxies and learning more about the vast and diverse nature of the cosmos.
