I failed a brain check, I've been googling those names for 30 minutes. I don't get the reference. What's the joke here? I would have just taken it as cleaver naming for the region.

Each one is a combination of 'Celestial Object' and 'synonym for deer'. The first two seem innocuous and fantastic enough, but they establish the pattern - letting the third be 'Starbucks', a real-life coffee shop chain.

Starbucks is a real coffee chain that exists in the real world. Moondeer and sunfawn follow the same naming scheme, but the players didn't realize that was what the DM was building to until the big reveal. It's...pun-adjacent.
