If you could name a star, what would you name it?

I'd go for Sparkly McSparkleton. Or something random like Eric.

I would first look if there are some rules.
Like if they get numbered according to where they are i would try to add the number to the name and maybe add some historical event/person that i want to be remembered forever
Maybe Zuse (first computer) or Lovelace (first programmer (also female) to some definitions) if they did not get taken already

Bob

I'd name it after my gf if it wouldn't mess anything up astronomy-wise. She's big into astronomy

hmm we could name it LadyButterfly ;)
