Please try to resist the childish jokes, but the fact is that the odd tilt of Uranus may be the result of a particularly large moon.

Is there really any need to keep that stupid name for the planet? It's not like it's an ancient name or anything, like Mars or Venus, which were gods to our ancestors. I don't think Uranus was discovered until modern times. Whoever named it screwed up big time. There's really no reason to keep that name, and lots of reason to get rid of it.

I vote for Iceboggle.

Those scientists have a lot of built up anger for the way they were treated by normal people . It is their way of getting back . Earth probably means planet of pee-pee head jocks in Andromedan .

We could always rename it “butthole”.

From Wikipedia. "Uranus (pronounced /ˈjʊərənəs, jʊˈreɪnəs/) is the Latinized form of Ouranos (Οὐρανός), the Greek word for sky ( a cognate of the English word air and the Hindi word oura (to fly)). In Greek mythology Ouranos or Father Sky, is personified as the son and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth (Hesiod, Theogony). Uranus and Gaia were ancestors of most of the Greek gods, but no cult addressed directly to Uranus survived into Classical times,[1] and Uranus does not appear among the usual themes of Greek painted pottery. Elemental Earth, Sky and Styx might be joined, however, in a solemn invocation in Homeric epic.[2]"

In "Futurama" (the Matt Groening animated series set 1000 years from now), scientists renamed "Uranus", due to all the silly jokes.

They named it to "Urectum".

A good new name for Uranus would be Salacia. She was the wife of Neptune. When Uranus was Originally discovered Neptune was not known. Now that similarities between the two planets are well known a husband wife pair makes sense.
