Uranus is the name of the Roman god of creation, called by the Greeks 'Cronus'. It's pronounced 'yur - ah - nus', much to the disappointment of thousands of third-graders, and it's a fine name for a planet.
Er, and 'Mohammed' is not a god in anyone's mythology.

You say yur-ah-nus, I say yur-ah-nus, you say tom-a-tow, I say tom-ah-tow, but I'm not here to start any backdoor, smelly war on semantics when it comes to Uranus. That would stink!
And, some of us still enjoy 3rd grade joke, I like the yo-mama ones personally.

Maybe this Cal Tech guy should sell the name to the highest bidder on ebay.

It's pronounced 'yur - ah - nus' Urinous? Named by a You're-a-peein' from Yurrup, perhaps?
