Hello all,
Love the suggestions! While I like the idea of calling it strictly what it literally looks like, I'd prefer something a little more mystical, such as the planets tend to be named after mythology. I liked Cocoon Nebula, but to change it up
Silk Worm Nebula
has a different ring to it, to me.
Someone early on had mentioned an Indian or Arabic (?) God named Roc, & I remembered a great fantasy series I had read by Australian author, Sara Douglass, had as characters these demons called TimeKeepers named as listed:
The Timekeeper Demons
Mot ruled dawn, a time of hunger,
Barzula ruled mid-morning, a time of tempest,
Sheol ruled mid-afternoon, a time of despair,
Raspu ruled dusk, a time of pestilence,
Rox ruled night, a time of terror,
Qeteb, was their leader. He ruled Mid-day, a time of destruction, and was considered to be the greatest demon.
It was the Rox/Roc name that inspired me to add these demon names as suggestions, although I still prefer Silk Worm Nebula.
Thanks for the interesting reads!
