The Sheet Nebula was my first thought.

Popcorn Nebula! Absolutely the best one on the above list! Got your Popcorn nebula ready?!?!

[hansekseen]

i think it should be called "the swan star"

[DavesGarage]

The first thing I saw was a cloud in space - I vote for "The Cloud Nebula"

• The Hokey Smokes nebula.

<<Rocket J. Squirrel, usually called by the nickname "Rocky", is the name of the flying squirrel protagonist of the 1959-1964 animated television series Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show (both shows often referred to collectively as The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show), produced by Jay Ward. Rocky's sidekick is the cartoon moose, Bullwinkle. Both Rocky and Bullwinkle were given the middle initial "J" as a reference to Ward. Rocky's most frequently used catch phrase was "hokey smoke!">>

No other name than Surrealistic Pillow can fit to NGC 7027.

The Flying Squirrel Nebula sounds good to me! And triastro, the Cocoon Nebula already does exist, and is cataloged as IC 5146. Good idea though!

The Golden Fleece Nebula

[Guido Lauer]

It looks like an Italian Noodle; so if i could, i would surely call it "Ravioli Nebula"
