Default Bad Astronomical Names

Ok, this one just has me shaking my head. Until tonight, I was completely unaware of the existence of... *sigh*... the Pac Man Nebula, aka NGC 281. Pac Man? Are you kidding me? And I thought I was a geek.

As long as I've discovered this ridiculously-monickered nebula, how many other equally silly titles are out there? Please tell me there aren't Donkey Kong and Centipede nebulae too...
