I like to buy the blue connector shown in the picture below to pigtail wire.
I do not know its name and could not find it at local Home Depot.
What is this type of connector called ?

Personally I wouldn't use them to join 2 pieces of string together, but it appears they are rated to 600v / 1000v.
Subject to local Electrical Regulations and codes.

3M™ Scotchlok™ Insulation Displacement Connector 560/560B is 600V rated for building wire and 1000V rated for signs, fixtures and luminaires. It withstands temperatures of 221 degrees F (105 degrees C). UL Listed and RoHS 2011/65/EU Compliant.

What you have there is called wagos I think that’s what they call them in the UK but you can buy them at your local electrical parts store. I don’t really know what we call them in the states but show your picture the the person who waits on you.

No, they are not Wago connectors. See post#3
 
deffo scotchlocks. you don't strip the ends of the wires, clamping the connector pierces the insulation (occasionally, that's why they re bad).
 
Definitely a 3M Scotchlok. Insulation displacement, which requires the cable to be the right size, and of course there's a specific tool for them. 3M might think they're good for 600V but I wouldn't use these on my truck let alone fit them into a house.

I'd be inclined to use 224-112 wagos in this scenario, assuming the installed cable is solid core.
