          By that logic Uranus would be called “George’s Star”. Then the English nationalists would would get uppity about its name.

          The discover generally has input, but when there’s a group of experts responsible for maintaining a list of names of things: they decide what’s right.

              Farnsworth: I’m sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all…

              Fry: Oh. What’s it called now?

              Farnsworth: Urectum.
