Even my fourth grade schoolteacher from 1971 was afraid to bring up Uranus for fear of all the snickering from the immature boys.
Poor Uranus. It deserved a better name.

Poor Uranus. It deserved a better name. I always say "Oo-ranius" after "Oorania," the muse of Astronomy. There is a beautiful stained glass window of her in the Allegheny Observatory, part of the University of Pittsburgh.
