and it's pronouced, "Urinus, not Uranus." .../s
Which now that I spell it out and look at it; isn't much better.. however, Niel DeGrass Tyson says we've all been pronouncing it wrong, but maybe we just don't wanna be right (this one time)?

But UR-in-us and ur-AY-nus are correct and accepted pronunciations. Both are listed in the dictionary. And, as you say, it sounds a bit wrong either way.

I named my one dev server Uranus, so if someone asks for information I can tell them "Check Uranus"

I think my proctologist played this same video during my colonoscopy. Not sure, I was pretty drugged up at the time.

If we could change the name what should it be?
Edit: I was actually asking for legitimate names. I should have known better.

Logically, it should be Caelus. Mercury = Hermes, Venus = Aphrodite, Mars = Ares, Jupiter = Zeus, Saturn = Cronos, Caelus = Uranus, Neptune = Poseidon
Uranus is the only one with the Greek name, the rest have the Roman equivalent.

There should be a subreddit for Uranus...
I wouldn't be surprised if Uranus already has one?

We really need to change the name and be done with that joke. We can call it "urectum."

Thanks. But you could have just asked for nudes like a normal person, not sent the James Webb Space telescope.

Astronomers renamed Uranus to end that stupid joke once and for all. It's now called Urectum.
