Stingray Nebula or maybe Starfish Nebula.

i would like to name it the cosmic soapdish, because it looks like a square soap bar on a funky shaped dish!

I like iceberg because all the candy ones most likely won't go
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
Call it the starfish nebula. Or perhaps the kite nebula. Or maybe the box kite nebula.

To me the Nebula could be named the Cloud Nebula or the Cumulus Nebula and going a bit farther in imagination the Cauliflower Nebula

when I first looked I thought of a wolf's head, but now it looks like a dumpling or a Pieróg.

First thing I thought is PILLOW. I'm glad I'm not alone!

Marshmallow Nebulae. It looks like a toasted marshmallow to me.

With this particular image, definitely Cotton Candy Nebula was the only thing that came to mind.

Another vote for Pillow Nebula!

Starfish Nebula? I think it looks like a starfish
Or simply a 5-pointed star. But mostly a starfish. ![clapping :clap:](./images/smilies/asterisk_clap.gif)

I think it's the Pillow Nebula!
Re: APOD: Bright Planetary Nebula NGC 7027... (2013 Aug 26)
I would call it, the "Pillow Nebula", on account of the fact that is has four corners and looks to be very fluffy.
