Wired News: March 13, 1781: Heavenly Body: "Herschel originally christened his discovery Georgium Sidus ('George's Star') in honor of Britain's King George III and, in fact, a host of names were proposed before Uranus finally won out."

I believe one of the other names was Herschel. It took a generation of astronomers dying off before all the "modern" names gave way to the planet Uranus.

BTW it's Yoo RahNuss, not Yer Anus, or Urine-Us. Nineplanets.org has a link to each planet's name with the proper pronounciation. Lends a little gravitas to your argument with the kiddies.
