Name a Star for Your Baby — Instantly
For that little miracle that's just entered the world - getting a star named in the sky is just the perfect way to welcome them. Get your baby's star named and recorded in the registry right away. You get a digital certificate, the star's exact location, and access to an interactive online star lookup, all in the same session. If you'd like a physical copy for the nursery, you print the certificate yourself.
Named for them, on the spot.
Most services that involve a certificate or registry entry ask you to submit a request and then wait — for a confirmation email, for manual processing, for something to ship. Here, naming the star is the checkout: the instant payment goes through, your baby's name is attached to that star in the registry, timestamped to the minute.
Everything that comes with it is digital too — the certificate, the star's coordinates and location details, and ongoing access to an interactive online lookup where you can find the star again anytime. There's nothing to unbox and nothing to wait on. If you'd like a printed copy for the nursery or a baby book, that part's just a home printer away.

What you're actually filling in.
Name the star
Their full name, first name, or the nickname you've already started using — this becomes the title on their digital certificate.
Choose a constellation
Pick from a set of recognizable constellations — some parents choose one tied to their baby's birth month, others just pick a favorite.
Write the message
A short welcome note, a birth date and time, or a line for when they're older to read themselves — it appears directly on the certificate.
Three ways to name a star for your baby.
All three are fully digital — a certificate you save and print yourself, the star's exact location and coordinates, and lifetime access to the interactive online star lookup. The naming itself is recorded the instant you check out; the difference between packages is the certificate design and what's included alongside it.

Frequently asked.
Is this an officially recognized star name?
No — and we want to be upfront about that. This is a personalized star-naming keepsake, not an official astronomical designation recognized by the International Astronomical Union, NASA, or any scientific body. The star itself is real, and the certificate and registry entry are genuinely yours, but no commercial star-naming service — including this one — can officially rename a star in scientific catalogs. What you're giving is a meaningful, personalized gift for your baby, not a change to how astronomers refer to that star.
Is the star really named the moment I pay, or does it get processed later?
It's recorded at that moment. There's no manual review and no batch processing — your baby's name is attached to the star in the registry as soon as payment confirms, and your certificate and star lookup access are ready in the same session.
Do you send anything physical, or is it all digital?
It's all digital — a certificate file, the star's location details, and access to the interactive online star lookup. Nothing ships and nothing is mailed. If you'd like a physical copy for a frame or a baby book, you're welcome to print the certificate yourself at home.
Can we use our baby's exact birth date and time?
Yes. The dedication field is free text, so you can include their birth date, time, hospital, or anything else you'd like to appear on the certificate alongside their name.
Do grandparents or other family need an account to view it?
No. Once you send them the link, they can view the certificate and use the star lookup immediately — no account or login needed.
