Big names
Answer:
STARS
Hint:
Think of luminous figures often seen in the night sky or on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Explanation:
"Big names" hints at famous or prominent figures, which we often call "stars"—whether in movies, music, or sports. The word "stars" also literally refers to celestial bodies, but here it’s a playful nod to celebrities who shine brightly in their fields. It’s a straightforward double meaning where "big" reinforces the idea of importance or fame.
