Not necessary - just pronounce it "URINE-us".

well we can go with the current accepted pronunciation...for all the good it will do.

William Herschel, the discoverer, wanted to name it Georgium Sidus after King George III, and others proposed naming it Herschel.

If they had gone with the name Herschel, would the NFL player have been named Uranus Walker?
