I agree with: The Marshmallow Nebulae

It was the first thing that come into mind.

Based on the visible light appearance of it from this page I'd definitely say a chromosome. BTW, you are missing a lot if you don't include the narrowband data.

It should be named Parnassus after the grass of Parnassus which it resembles. Plus, It's a gorgeous name that does this wonder of the sky justice.
