I'm beginning to get a little bit antsy. There's a name I really want but I've still not gotten my celinox schematic yet and it's been 4 days. Is it possible to make another SW pet for the name and gear "gender" and then, once I get my schematic, to make a SW Celinox on top of the other SW pet I made so that I can give her her proper specie while retaining the name and "gender"?

I'm not 100% sure, but yes I think you would be able to do that without a problem. The thing is, another schematic probably wouldn't get here any faster unless you already happen to have one. They're processed in a queue and according to several other open threads about the schematics, there was an influx of users ordering schematics with the recent release.
this is a bug that the schematics are taking this long. It's been way over 4 days since I paid for the one I wanted. I'm worried about losing the name I really want :/ I'd be buying the other schematic from a player's shop instead of from the schematic shop.

Are you sure it's a bug though?
