How much does it cost to name a star?

What you get for the money

• The Classic — £9.99: a real, catalogued star dedicated to your chosen name in our register; all five personalised documents to print at home — certificate, star chart, coordinates sheet, constellation story and register extract; their own interactive online star page, forever; and a beautiful e-gift reveal you can send by WhatsApp, email or text. Ready within minutes of ordering.
• The Gift Pack — £19.99: everything above, plus all five documents printed on fine stock — name certificate, star chart, coordinates sheet, the story of their constellation, and a stamped extract from the register — posted free, to you or straight to the recipient.

What everyone else charges

Most established star naming companies charge £20–£45 for a posted pack, and some premium naming tiers run to £60 or more. The paperwork differs, but here is the honest part: the naming itself is symbolic at every company, at every price. A £45 star is no more official than a £9.99 star — because no company can sell an official star name at all. Only the International Astronomical Union assigns official star designations, and it does not sell them.

So why do we cost less? Because digital-first delivery and honest positioning are simply cheaper than glossy packaging and overstated claims. We put the money into the register, the documents and the experience — and price the symbol at what a symbol honestly costs. Curious how it all works? Read the honest guide or is naming a star legit?

Any catches?

• No subscription, no renewal fees — the dedication is recorded once, permanently.
• No postage charge on the Gift Pack, anywhere in the UK.
• 14-day promise — wrong spelling, changed your mind, not delighted? We correct, re-dedicate or refund in full.
• Multiple stars cost simple multiples — two stars, twice the price; our order form handles up to ten in one go (popular for naming a star for each grandchild).
