As this nebula looks somewhat like a brain it could be called "The Brain of Morbius" after the classic Dr Who adventure in which the eponymous hero fought the disembodied brain of a Time Lord tyrant? ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

My first thought, before even reading the description was of a pillow. Looks like others thought the same thing. My second thought was a marshmellow.

I was going to suggest "Pillow Nebula", but I like "Starfish Nebula" even better!

"Casper Nebula" - as in Casper the friendly ghost

Well, the very first thing that came to my mind was a Flying Squirrel, so I'll throw my hat into the "Rocket J. Squirrel" Flying Squirrel ring.
For those maybe not old enough to know, Rocket J. Squirrel was the full name of Rocky squirrel from Rocky & Bullwinkle.
Maybe it should be named the "Rocky" Planetary Nebula

This nebula truly looks like an explosion. How about the Kaboom Nebula?
