My answer is definitely Orion. As a child I lived on the first floor of a four-plex, and my grandfather lived on the second. At night I'd look up towards his apartment and always see Orion. I started associating Orion with my grandfather, and as a grown up, every time I see Orion, it always reminds me of him and makes me smile still.

Hydrus.
My daughter plays rythum guitar in a band called hydrus.
The story behind the name: Hydrus, the water snake, was noted by Dutch navigators Pieter Dirszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman who charted the southern skies between 1595 and 1597 on a voyage to the East Indies. The constellation was introduced by Johann Bayer in his 1603 publication Uranometrica. Hydrus resembles a rearing snake, with its head erect and body twisted into a sinuous shape.

Two favorites for sort of same reason.
in the sword of Orion, one of the stars is not really a star, it is a nebula--a place where stars are born.
The Pleiades, sometimes called the 7 Sisters. I wonder if whoever first called it the 7 Sisters knew how right they were. These are all new "baby" stars that are just ["just" in astronomical time scales] born from their stellar nursery or nebula. Since they came from the same nursery they are sister stars.

Orion...for some reason, I have always felt some connection to it. I always see it in Winter...the belt is so noticeable, the three stars all in a row, and it seems so close, like I could reach up and touch it sometimes.

I used to stare at the big dipper out of my bedroom window growing up. A couple years ago I moved to the mountains where the skies are so clear that you can clearly see the milky way, I like that one the most now.

I like Orion because even in places where there is too much light to be able to see many stars, you can usually find Orion.

Orion's belt.
It was the first one that I learned to recognize. It's usually easy to find too.

As i live in the southern hemisphere my favorite is CRUX(the Southern Cross) because it reminds me of the cross that Christ was crucified on.
