All stars with proper names approved by International Astronomical Union

As of 10 Aug 2018, 336 star names are included in the list of IAU-approved star names. Can you name all of them correctly? This quiz would be challenging!
All star names MUST BE SPELLED EXACTLY as approved by IAU. Star names which are not approved by IAU are not included.
Some stars are components of double or multiple stars and indicated visual magnitudes are of the individual components (not combined magnitudes).
Some stars are variable and the indicated visual magnitudes may not be at the brightest. One object on this list is a pulsar.
List. Updated in 10 Aug 2018!
