Surely it can't be called a NGC or M as we can't see all of it. Let me clarify M31 or LMC it can be seen as a blob a whole which we can't do with the Milky Way. Anyway the Milky Way is the Milky Way why would we need another name for it? OK yes we have multiple names for other objects M83 = Southern Whirlpool Galaxy.
