Name
a Star
What would a meaning of names website be without a name a
star section? Well, this is just that section, my friend.
As Walt Disney himself was once overheard saying, "When you
wish upon a star, you might as well name it, whoever you are."
Of course this name a star quote may have been misheard,
mishandle or misquoted, but you get the picture. Many people
are interested in naming stars after themselves, their loved
one or their friends.
For instance, on one dark night a person may look into
the skies and spies a shiny little twinkler and say, "I
think I'll name that star, Bob". And, that will be
that. Or will it? Not, according to some it won't. Now days,
if you want to name a star and do it officially, you will
need to register your distant red dwarf or white giant in
a star registry.

Now, why would anyone want to register a star in the official star
registry? Well, when you name a star and someone 12,000 miles away
across the other side of the earth does the same thing at the same
time, then it is unclear just whose star it is. Is it your star
or is it theirs?
By naming a star and registering it, a person can rest assured
that is indeed their star. If anyone tries to register a star that
has already been registered they will receive a mild electric shock
with increasing voltage depending upon how many additional times
they try to register your star.
If this same person says they are the original person to name the
star, you can sue them in court for infringement of copyright, trademark,
patent and celestial rights. Do you realize how many sun lawsuits
are already on the books? About a gazillion would be my guess.
Now, instead of naming a star after yourself, a loved, friend or
acquaintance once removed, some people recently have turned to naming
a star, after well, a star. In others words, your neighbors, Fred
and Betty, may look up into the sky one night and say, "Look
at those two stars really close together. Let's call them Brad and
Angelina". And, so it is done.
Of course those stars have to be registered, but once this is accomplished,
you own the rights to the Brad and Angelina celebrity stars. Of
course, if the celebs want to sue you in court for naming their
stars and trying to keep them, they may very well win and you'll
just have to hand them over like the scurvy little dogs that you
are.
So, to recap, when you name a star, be sure to register it. If
someone tries to infringe upon you star naming endeavor or claim
your star for their own, then sue them. If you're sued by a celebrity,
give your star to them, but make a big media ruckus over it so that
they will pay you off to stop.
Now, go look into the night sky and wait until its very, very dark.
Also, remember when you name a star to take a flash picture to document
exactly which on it is. You'll need this information later in court.
