What is the best star naming website?

I know it's fake, but it's the meaning that counts.


It's for my neice she loves stars and astronomy.


I was hoping I'd be able to the 'her' star with the naked eye, and beable to have a picture of it.

If you do a bit of research, you will find a number of observatories, planetaria, and science centres which have star naming programs. You will at least know that your money goes towards a charitable donation, rather than supporting a scam.





Another idea is to buy your niece a subscription to an astronomy magazine or a membership in an astronomy club instead.
Reply:The only legitimate star naming organization is the International Astronomical Union.
Reply:i like geoff's idea of an astronomy magazine subscription or a club membership. this will pay off far more than a meaningless (though still nice) gesture involving star names
Reply:The moon doesn't have a name. Why don't you just have her name the moon?
