Our own galaxy has several hundred billion (1011) stars; the observable Universe probably has some hundred billion (1011) galaxies; that gives a rough estimate in the order of 1022 stars in the observable Universe. It really doesn't make sense to try to classify, or name, or confirm, each individual star, just as it doesn't make sense to count or classify the grains of sand on a beach.
