		A very few stars are named for individuals; this is rare and many cases were unofficial names that became official.

		And already in our own Milky Way there may be millions of stars with planets whose inhabitants have equal or better rights than we to name 'their' star, like humans have done with the Sun (which of course itself has different names in different languages).
		Names are fine for small groups of well-known objects, like the planets or naked-eye stars, but useless for huge numbers - remember, we know hundreds of millions of stars!

	Catalog of Filipino Names
		Name distribution was so systematic that civil servants assigned family names in alphabetical order causing some small towns with only a few families to end up with all names starting with the same letter.
