The stars visible to us (some of which are blue supergiants)(most are in other galaxies, some are hidden by dust clouds or regions of very dense stars, etc.) are named and cataloged in a number of ways. (A "blue giant" star cannot really exist because the name giant refers to a old star, and old stars are always relatively cool and red. But that's off topic.) The brightest stars have given names such as "Bellatrix" and "Aldebaran". Dimmer ones get Bayer Catalog Greek letters and Flamsteed numbers. (e.g. Gamma Orionis, with the second word referring to which constellation it's in, in this case Orion.) The dimmest ones that are visible with telescopes are classified in a number of catalogs, which have their own abbreviations. (e.g. USNOA2 0975-06967056.) However they aren't classified as things like Red Giant 65578-434, if that's what you were wondering.
