Where to "name a star" ?

I've just gone to have a star named on www.freenameastar.com only to find they've closed down. Does anyone know of any other sites who do this service for under £5? The ones I keep finding are either $/£19.95 and I really dont want to pay that much for a space on their database and an expensive piece of paper.

    I don't mean to sound rude but I don't understand why people name stars, surely someone else could name the same star, or am I being daft. I really aren't being rude

    Hi there

    Someone bought my daughter one of these as a gift:

    http://www.character-online.com/search/?r=0&c=0&p=0&t=shining%20stars

    I guess it depends on who it's for (male/female)- but you get a code with the toy and you can go to the star registry and name a star.

    Maybe not for blokes - but saves paying out more money.

    I paid £12.99 for one of those last christmas (horse one) but I noticed yesterday they had it in Home Bargains for about £1.00, may have been £1.99 but no more than that.

    Excellent for a child.
