About funny star names

A funny star name works by treating the grandest thing in the sky like a pet goldfish. Real star names are stately: Sirius, Vega and Betelgeuse have been in use for centuries, and many of the traditional names come from Arabic. So a chart that marks one bright point as Kevin, or as That Bright One, gets its laugh from the contrast.

The 1,000 names here come from a handful of moves. Many bright stars carry a Bayer designation, a Greek letter plus the possessive form of the constellation's Latin name, as in Alpha Centauri, so Beta Late Than Never and Gamma Snackorum parody that format, and Ursa Meh does the same for the constellations. Catalog-style entries such as LOL 404 use joke prefixes that are not meant to match any real catalog. Others lean on the nursery rhyme (Twinkle McTwinkleface), on star types (Red Dwarf, Big Dreams), on household lighting (Who Left This On), on puns on famous star names (Sirius Business) and on the stargazer's oldest problem, Probably a Plane.

All of them are joke names for stories, tabletop campaigns, game saves and evenings in the back yard. The list stays clean and does not aim a joke at a real person, and none of it is an official designation.

How to choose funny star names

  • Read the name in a serious voice, the way a ship's computer would: "Now approaching Dave's Star." If it still gets a laugh with a straight face, it will last a whole campaign.
  • Match the joke to the table. A deadpan entry like The One Next to the Moon suits dry humor, while Captain Sparklepants fits a sillier, cartoon style of game.
  • Games often cap the length of a custom name, so check the naming box first. Short entries such as Kevin, Ursa Meh and Dim Sum fit almost anywhere.
  • Use a multiple system for a group act. Two's Company suits a binary, and Third Wheel is the natural name for the extra star in a triple.
  • On a stargazing night with kids, let everyone name one star and write the names down. Pointing names such as Left of the Chimney are easy to find again.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny star names?

Names that undercut the grandeur of the night sky tend to work best: Twinkle McTwinkleface, Kevin, That Bright One and Dave's Star are all in this list. For a nerdier joke, try the parodies of astronomy's own naming habits, such as Sirius Business, Ursa Meh and Gamma Snackorum.

Can I officially name a star with one of these?

No. Official star names are approved by the International Astronomical Union, which does not sell naming rights, and most stars are known only by catalog numbers. These names are for stories, games and jokes among friends.

Are the catalog-style names real star designations?

No. Entries such as LOL 404 and TBD 12 use joke letter prefixes on purpose, so they read like catalog entries without being meant to match a real one. Real catalogs use prefixes such as HD, which stands for the Henry Draper Catalogue.

Can I use these names in No Man's Sky or Stellaris?

Yes, wherever a game gives you a naming box. No Man's Sky lets you rename the star systems you discover, and Stellaris lets you rename the systems in your empire. Check the length limit before you settle on a long one such as Great Celestial Furnace of Mild Warmth.
