I.e.: G350.1-0.3 is special in so many ways. Since it looks like a diver crouching to do a double backflip with a half twist from the 10-meter platform, we'll call it Greg for the rest of this post. ... This said, Greg isn't any normal supernova remnant. See? I got the idea from Colonel Shepherd from SG:A. PS: I'm so glad we have these other-spectrum telescopes in orbit finding these things. :) I think that when it comes to writing an article about something with such an unwieldy name, much like how corporations and associations are spelled out and then given an acronym in parentheses, we should give the proper name, and then give it a nickname for the article or post.
