Makes them feel special, didn't cost a cent, and has exactly the same validity as StarRegistry. And everyone is free to use exactly the same ones.
You could always go get a blank book and draw your own star chart. You can also put in other important items in it. Then it could be saved and cherished from generation to generation. For all of your descendents, it will have more legitimacy than any purchased name registry. And who knows, maybe in the future, after book-burners have torched all of human history, they could start over with you've saved. Is that how the arab names stayed in usage?
