It is indeed likely that those represents star names, but you should check the names better. I just looked up one on wikipedia. This is just one example of a problematic name, I think there will be more since many star names are relatively recent. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Also, for example, Draco and Cetus are on extremely opposite ends of the celestial sphere, so it is highly unlikely that their stars will be placed next to each other...
