There are organizations that will take your money and send you a certificate, but those documents have no validity and are not recognized by anyone else. There are at least a half-dozen companies or individuals who claim the ability to name stars. However, no private company has ever been granted the authority to name stars by any government, professional astronomical organization, or international treaty.

So can you name a star after you??? The simple answer is NO!!.......... :( Pity.... the idea of something named after me going supernova and destroying a solar system sounds appealing.
