I think the pillow nebula is a good reference. The other thing that comes to mind is the Brain nebula or something along those lines. If you take away the edges of the "pillow" it almost looks like a CT scan of the brain, saggital section.

My first thought was: Rocket J. Squirrel, usually called by the nickname "Rocky".
No head but we're looking from below and he could be looking up to the stars... tehe

My 6 yr old son suggested the cauliflower nebula.

i'm reminded of cauliflower, complete with some darker 'leaves' around the outside.

I vote for Flying Squirrel Nebula, to be informally known as Rocky in honor of Rocket J. Squirrel.

I think The Glowing Pillow is best suitable.

Bowtie nebula - obviously. Cuz the pillow and marshmallow are only being suggested by y'all due to its striking off-white color here in Hubble's Photo - but those colors are just assigned and not real at all! Bowtie is a good one, bubs!

WOW! 34 pages of pillows, marshmallow's, popcorn and assorted whatever's. I'm tired from just going through it all. I need a pillow. There's plenty around, all i have to do is scrape off some marshmallow and popcorn. I can snack while i fall asleep.

It looks like the underside of a Space Shuttle. Name it after the Challenger or the Columbia.
