One that is fairly famous is Sagittarius A* - the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way, about 26,000 light-years from here, and with a mass of about 4 million solar masses. For additional black holes, check the Wikipedia article "List of black holes".

What is the black hole called in the center of the milky way?
It is likely that there is more than one black hole in our galaxy, but the one believed to be in the centre is called 'Sagittarius A*' (A Star). However, if it is not a black hole, then 'Sagittarius A*' refers to whatever it is found to be instead.
What is our black hole called?
The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy may not have a formal name yet, but takes its identification from a powerful radio source "Sagittarius A*" (where the asterisk is part of the name). Because of the discovery of this energy source it's commonly believed a black hole must be located there, powering the emissions perhaps because of the black hole's accretion disk or relativistic jets.
What is the name for the first black hole?
The first strong black hole candidate observed was in an x-ray binary system in constellation Cygnus and is called Cygnus X-1 (so named because it was a strong x-ray source). Observational evidence continues to support the notion that it could only be a black hole; its mass is estimated at a little under 15 times the mass of our sun, with a Schwarzschild radius of about 44 km.
How did black holes get its name?

Is a cygnus the same thing as a black hole?
"Cygnus" is the latin word for "swan." It is the name given to a constellation in our skies. Within this constellation is a major source of x-rays; the source of which was eventually regarded as a black hole. This was the first object that most astronomers concluded was unambiguously a black hole, a conclusion reached about thirty years ago.
How do black holes in space get their name?
A black hole is an objects with such strong gravity that not even light can escape them. If observed up close a black hole would appear as a completely black sphere.

Why is the term black hole appropriate?
The term 'black hole' is particularly appropriate in its application to the astrophysical phenomenon of the same name due to the property of the escape velocity exceeding the speed of light. This means that no light or matter escapes a black hole.
What is the black hole called in the center of the milky way?
It is likely that there is more than one black hole in our galaxy, but the one believed to be in the centre is called 'Sagittarius A*' (A Star). However, if it is not a black hole, then 'Sagittarius A*' refers to whatever it is found to be instead.
