A Star is Born! International Star Registry
Freephone:(0800) 212493
Welcome the new baby to the planet!
ISR is the original star naming service, established over 25 years. When Madonna’s daughter Lourdes was born, William Baldwin called ISR to make sure a star was named in her honour, and similarly Emma Bunton named a star Brooklyn Beckham with ISR as a surprise for Victoria and David! Other notable “newborns” on the ISR Register include Prince William and Leo Blair.
ISR’s lavish presentation package includes a large 12” x 16” Certificate of Registration (framed or unframed) and a matching sky-chart pinpointing the star – both beautifully inscribed with the baby’s name. The documents can be dated on a birthday or Christening day. The star names are published every three years and lodged on permanent record with the major international copyright libraries.
