Just take the Kimi approach of calling them all by the number order in which they occur 😂.
Realistically, I know some of the classics at Spa and Monza, but still have a lot of turn names to learn
At Monaco, the turns are named after what is physically next to the turn. Rascasse, for example, is the turn where a restaurant/bar named Rascasse is. Casino, swimming pool, etc are similar
And hairpin name has changed as the hotel is rebranded/changes owners: Fairmont hairpin now, used to be Loews hairpin
Often times you’ll also have corners named for notable moments/figures in the sport. Nikki Lauda Corner, etc.

You see it at older circuits. It's typically a name that is associated with a physical landmark (such as the Monaco names) in other cases it's to commemorate someone?.
On newer circuits, there are frequently less landmarks ( cota for example, there were few landmarks around when it was built) or they haven't had time to start to commemorate people. I'm surprised the turn at the entrance to the castle section of Baku does not have a name, because that could definitely be called Castle corner or something like that.
I just wonder when alonso or kimi will have corners.
Its a Yoke corner
Gp2 engine corner.
Alonso is faster than you corner
Leave me alone corner
I inow what i am doing corner
Give me the steering wheel now corner
