The problem with naming just too many stars. Naming each one with an individual name wont' work. Maybe just the important ones for their uniqueness??

But having such a catalog systems with such long names, HDE394-......, is pretty hard to remember them. Even I think for astronomers themselves. Maybe a new catalog system is in need of?, as many other things need to be renewed.
