Since it is in the cygnus constellation, maybe the North Star Nebulae... or since the constellation cygnus is associated with the story of Zeus and Leda it could be called something like Leda's Heart nebulae.. actually yes, Leda's Heart it is.

Since it lies in the direction of Cygnus the Swan and it looks so fluffy, how about "The Downy Nebula" or "Down Nebula"

Weasel nebulae.
at first blush it did look like a pillow but with just a little squint of the eyes you can see a Weasel's head pretty clearly

"Shuriken Nebula". A shuriken is the proper name for a ninja star, so "Ninja Star Nebula" would work too.

Pillow.
As soon as I saw it, I wanted to go back to bed.
