Why so many star names?

Draco is named after a constellation (the dragon), and his mother Narcissa was born a Black. The Black family names children after stars and constellations: Sirius, Regulus, Bellatrix, Andromeda. Fans who rename female Draco often stay inside that rule, which is where Lyra and Lacerta come from. Draconia and Dracanea take the other route and make "Draco" sound feminine.

Draconia vs. Malfoid

Draconia is a first name. Malfoid is a nickname for the whole trend (Malfoy + "foid"). So "Draconia Malfoid" reads like a full name, but most stories keep the real family name, Malfoy. For what the trend is and where it came from, see what Malfoid means.
