How can I name the stars, and planets?

I've seen videos where people do it, It's suppose to be in the info section of the star/planet, should just click the name, and it should work like a text box, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.

It's impossible. Maybe you are talking about tagging a star or planet with your name after the first discovery or mapping?
Or maybe you saw someone adding a bookmark to a planet or star and then renaming that bookmark?

No, I mean literally naming them. I know how to get the first discovered/first mapped. I have a empire building here, so I wanted to name some of the stars/planets.

Naming of stars - I don't know if that ever was a possibility. Naming of planets or stations - that was given out as a kickstarter reward at the highest tiers, or is occasionally auctioned off at one of FDs charity auctions. These rights usually cost triple figures (in GBP).

I'm not sure if stars were ever possible, the video I saw was naming planets. Oh ok sigh, didn't know that was only through a KS tier or whatnot. That's ashame, but it is what it is, fair enough.

You need to invent a time machine, go back and pay a fortune for the kick-starter reward for this.

Otherwise you can just bookmark and rename the bookmark which is probably what you have seen.

FDEV sometimes allow for it as part of some special prizes or raffles.

I won it once at Lavecon :D

Keep your eyes peeled for Frontier charity streams, especially the annual 24 hour charity stream :)

Perhaps you saw that video in a dream, as it's never been part of the game to name planets or stars :D

It's not hard to check it. All movies watched on YouTube are present in your YouTube history. So @Zoltor, you can find it if you are curious. And we can unravel this mystery :)

I'd like to see that video too, because it would be a nicely done fake. There's no in-game way of naming bodies, stars or systems. Those lucky few who've won the right to pick such do so by sending their chosen names to Frontier, and if the devs okay it, then they are the ones who change them.
(Which makes sense, because without vetting, you know the galaxy would be full of places like FederalPenIsland.)

Yea easier said, then done. Scrolling through it now, damn I watch a lot of Youtube videos. Good news is it wasn't a typical video, it was a stream that was posted as a video, so atleast that will help me narrow it down.
