For the beginning they will hear about for years.
A small child may not understand the gift today. Your message gives their family something personal to keep and share when they are ready.
- Their name at the centre
- Use the name their family wants to celebrate. The dedication is written by you, so it can sound like a grandparent, a godparent or a proud family friend.
- A date with meaning
- Choose a birth date, christening date or another milestone agreed with the family. The certificate date is your dedication date, not a claim about the star’s discovery.
- A keepsake for their room
- Choose the printed set for something the family can display. Add a frame or gift box if you would like; they are optional extras.
- An honest introduction to the sky
- The map and Star Finder app connect the keepsake to a real star. Its gift name belongs to our private register, not official astronomical naming.
Every family has its own beginning.
Choose the moment you are celebrating. The family’s preferred name, date and words should guide the dedication.
A welcome they can grow into.
Celebrate a new arrival with their name and a message about all the love waiting for them. Confirm the spelling with the parents before ordering.

Your questions about this star gift
Can you name a star for a newborn baby?
Yes. You can dedicate a real star in our private register using a baby’s name, a meaningful date and your own message. It is a symbolic keepsake for the family. The name does not become an official astronomical designation.
Is a star dedication suitable for a christening or naming day?
A star dedication can mark a christening, naming ceremony or other family celebration. Choose the ceremony date and write a personal message from a godparent, grandparent or friend. The gift itself has no religious status; include religious wording only if it suits the family.
How much does a baby star gift cost?
The printed Standard Star package currently costs £42.90, or £23.90 for PDF-only delivery. Printed Zodiac Star is £53.90 and Binary Star is £72.90. Optional extras and delivery charges are shown before payment.
Which date should I put on a baby’s star certificate?
Choose the date the family wants to celebrate, such as the birth, christening or naming-day date. For adoption, ask the family which date and language feel right. The printed date marks your dedication; it does not mean the star was discovered or created on that day.
Can I give a star to twins?
Yes. A Binary Star package offers a two-star pairing that can symbolise twins. You can use both names in the dedication and review the available naming fields when ordering. Choose separate registrations if you want each child to have an individual registration.
Is this an appropriate adoption gift?
It can be, when the family welcomes the idea. Ask which name, date and wording they prefer, and keep the child’s private history out of the dedication unless the family specifically wants it included. A simple message of love can mark the occasion without assumptions.
What if the parents have not chosen the baby’s name?
Wait until the family confirms the name and spelling before personalising the certificate. If you need something to give at a gathering first, write a card explaining the gift you plan to create once they are ready.
Will the child be able to see their star?
The certificate identifies a real star, and the star map and Star Finder app help locate it. Visibility depends on location, season, brightness, weather and light pollution. Some stars require binoculars or a telescope; an unaided view on a particular night cannot be guaranteed.
How will the baby star gift be delivered?
Choose a printed package for a physical keepsake or PDF-only delivery to print the documents yourself. A gift box and frame are optional extras. DHL Express 2–3 business days (£15.90), FedEx Standard 4–6 business days (£9.90), Free shipping 8–10 business days (Free)
Does naming a star give the baby ownership of it?
No. The gift is a symbolic dedication recorded in Star Registration’s private register. It does not give the child ownership or legal rights, and the International Astronomical Union does not recognise purchased star names.
