How about Andromeda for 19.1 ?

Take your pick:

I think constellations are too intertwined with other concepts (e.g. Cancer) and only apply to one hemisphere.

Animals are nice and culturally neutral, as long as you avoid religiously significant species. However, Ubuntu got there first $:-\$

What about elements? OPNsense 19.1 "Potassium" anybody?

What? So in the southern hemisphere they don't have stars in the sky?

Sure, but not the same ones. Andromeda is fine though.

They are all there, they just cannot see them.
