  • Shining Stars are a line of plush animal toys that come with a unique interactive pitch for children: each animal comes with a secret code, with which the purchaser may "name a star," on the Shiningstars.com website. The names are recorded by a company called the International Star Registry, which purports to sell rights to the naming of celestial bodies. Shining Stars are made by the longtime stuffed-animal manufacturer Russ Berrie.
  • Legitimacy

    According to Snopes.com, the only way to officially name a star is to do so with the Paris-based International Astronomical Union, which is unaffiliated with the International Star Registry.
