I don't know, but I have one. Bought for me long ago. I had forgotten about that. I am sure you could google it. The stars are stars that are unidentified except maybe by number. Then you buy one, I think they're 50 bucks, and you name it for someone.
P.S. I haven't searched, but those saying that you only have the option of having one named after you sound right. But, so far as I know you have to buy that option. In any event, happy star gazing!

Only the International Astronomical Union has the authority to name celestial objects such as stars.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Astronomical_Union
They don't sell naming rights or give authority to others to do so.
However, there are hucksters who will take your money and tell you they will name a star after you. These are the same types who sell land on the moon or Mars and give you a "deed". Don't fall for it.

The whole "buying stars" business is a scam. But, hey, I'll sell you a crater on the moon!

Naming a star is a scam to part your money from your wallet. Nobody can name a star.

You can't buy one, but you can 'name' one. International star registry.
