“Heat death” is the name given to hypothesis that the Universe will continue to expand and cool until there is no light or energy left. Using the term for Earth burning up is going to confuse people.

So much to do, so little time.

Unlikely.
You underestimate the size of the Universe. There’s 8 billion people on Earth, there’s about 200 billion stars in our galaxy, and between 100 billion to 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

Or, you could name a new nebula something like 420F4rtG4s69. Tough choice…

Star names chabge. Certain stars used to have Arab/Indian names. And Mesapotamian names before that.
In kde’s KStars program if you go back far enough to middle age, star-names will change.

Interstellar survey names will be changed. America wasn’t called America by the natives.

The North Star, Polaris, part of the little Dipper constellation, was named “Kynosoura” in ancient Greece. Kynosoura means, "The Dog’s tail.’
Star names will not last.
We know the names of great Greek and Chinese philosophers because of their work. So while the names of the stars might change, being the Einstein of your generation is a likely path to immortality.
