    Don’t worry, the scientific community is working on getting it renamed to solve exactly this problem.

    It’s going to be called “urectum”.

      I’m a genuine proponent of renaming Uranus to “Caelus.” It’s the only planet (save earth) not named for a Roman god. It’s named for a Greek god, and completely breaks the naming convention. Funny word play aside, I’d like to see it renamed Caelus.

        Caelus would fit perfectly in our solar system.

          Right? Such a cool name! I also would not mind if they renamed earth to Terra, though, to keep the trend. But if we keep Uranus, we should make earth Gaia, so Uranus won’t be so lonely as the only Greek in the solar system.

          I may, may, be anthropomorphizing our planets a bit

            I mean since it’s 71% covered in water, how about Poseidia?

              How does one select the ending of the word, like how would one know to choose Poseidia instead of Poseidus?

        Hey don’t talk about Uranus like that.

        Uranus is good enough, smart enough, and goshdarnit, people like Uranus.
