@YouGoGirl1 It is my understanding that stars are named when they are discovered. The older stars have mythological or other names designated by the people who first discovered them. Recent stars have alpha-numeric names. Any star named on one of the star registries out there are just listed on that company's registry and have nothing to do with the real name of the star. If you want to do it for fun or for sentimental reasons, then there is one website that has thousands of positive reviews on TrustPilot.

Just remember, you are not actually naming the star.

When my husband and I married almost twenty years ago, a fellow poster on this board ( a deer, deer, friend * ) purchased a Star Registry gift for us. It, to this day, is one of the sweetest things anyone has ever done for us.

Even though one is not really naming a star, it is truly a fun gift, and you get a beautiful star chart and poster suitable for framing.

Yes, I purchased the deluxe star kit for a beloved family member who passed from terminal cancer over 10 years ago. I put the certificate and map into a huge frame for wall hanging.

The receiver was absolutely thrilled with the gift and was entertained by this right up until they died. I feel it is one of the most special things I've done for a loved one, and their family. My purchase was thru International Star Registry.

@YouGoGirl1 No. I find the whole idea silly. Been selling this nonsense for at least 20 some years that I recall. These stars are already named as someone else already posted.

@Love my grandkids You could have scrolled on by.

The OP asked if anyone had purchased it as a gift, not how anyone felt about the idea.

I’ve purchased one a few times. Most lately, for my friend whose son passed suddenly at age 44. It was greatly appreciated by all recipients. The star is symbolic & it doesn’t matter about the name.

@YouGoGirl1 Well, I for one had never heard of this before. I'm going to look into it to see if it's something I'd be interested in doing. Thank you for bringing it to light.

I also purchased one for a dear friend who lost her mother a couple of years ago.

And yes, we realize that we're not actually naming a star - It's symbolic and a way of saying "Your Loved One is a Forever Shining Star" ♥

@LavernLuvsShoes - I was responding to the comments posted unthread stating it was “silly” & the stars are already named. I don’t think it’s silly & wouldn’t care much about the name of the star. Everyone I gave the star in its frame loved the gesture & symbolism behind it.

I know, my friend - I was just piggybacking on your comment. ♥
