It looks a lot like Meringue (i.e. Lemon Meringue Pie).

I agree that at first glance the nebula looks like a pillow with stuffing. Since the nebula appears near the Swan constellation, I propose the name The Swan's pillow nebula. J Husek Boulder Colorado.

Looks a bit like a Space Shuttle from below and in front so I suggest the name Space Shuttle nebula.

the brighter core is roughly oval, and it's near cygnus, so... Swans Egg Nebula
or since the entire nebula appears more rectangular in shape, the Flying Carpet Nebula

It reminds me of one of those shooting star things from my kid's Wii Mario Galaxy game. Anyone like the Shooting Star Nebula?

It looks like a pillow to me. I guess this is the reason Thor dropped his helmet elsewhere in the sky
