SquishMallow,

The day that happens, I’d rather die

Mr_Fish,

I honestly don’t know which name is better: Uranus or George.

Yes, the guy who discovered the planet wanted to name it after King George, but everyone said that was too political, so it was called Uranus.

kzhe,

It would probably have been Georgia or some derivative of George.

Seeing how Uranus is a Greek in origin named after one of their mythological figures, the proper Greek pronounciation would be more like “Ooranos”

Micromot,

That seems pretty similar to the german prnunciation

Let me locate it for you

MightyGalhupo,

I hope I can always be immature enough to laugh at this. Life sucks, enjoy the little things. Or in this case the very big space you can fit things into.
