Hexagons
Shapes with straight sides are called polygons
You specify shapes by the number of sides (or edges, different name) they have. The suffix -gon at the end of a word show how many sides it has in the words. For example, an octagon has eight sides; so if you see a shape with eight sides, it's an octogon. All shapes are known as polygons, which means it has three or more sides.
Hendecagon
There are infinitely many polygons so it would be impossible to name them all. For the names of those with a fewer sides see the related link.
