Maybe you could let them pick the type of terrian. Susie loved the beach a piece of sand from the beach for her. Jimmy loved the mountains: a piece of a mountain for him. Etc. Etc. |

If, due to the tremendous acceptance of your idea, all the grains are spoken for, your fall back might be sub-atomic particles. Name a Lepton or perhaps name a Meson. |

In college, my buddies used to contemplate the thought that indeed our own mother earth may perhaps just be a grain on someone elses beach. In that case do we already have a name? |

What happens when eventually we pass into the great sandbox in the sky. Sure our spirit will take a seat up there next St. John, but what about our physical remains. Once they have sufficiently decomposed and we return to worm dirt who has the rights to name those grains? To tell you the truth, you might be opening yourself up for a bit of a legal entanglement. I know my future heirs would sue the pants off of anyone who tried to name my grains, or at least I hope they would. |

Hmmm, how many generations do you think it would take to fill an hour glass? |

Thanks for your concern [FireLilly] (nice name btw) but those Star Companies don't get in *legal entanglments* and anyway, this is the halfbakery. |

The Name-A-Star companies have a legal right to charge you for associating a name in their register of stars just the same as the DVLA have a right to charge you for associating you with a silly number plate, just the same as the internet registration companies have a right to charge you for the privilege of associating www.hardcorebadgers.com with an IP address of your choosing. If someone takes the time to keep a proper record of things, and chooses to charge people for the privilege of choosing what labels get associated with those things - it all seems reasonable to me - certainly not reason enough to commit planicide. |

[Phlish] I understand your reasoning, hence my idea...but some people just NEED to spend their money on something, so this is for them. |
