Don't worry, the scientific community is working on getting it renamed to solve exactly this problem.
It's going to be called "urectum".
I'm a genuine proponent of renaming Uranus to "Caelus." It's the only planet (save earth) not named for a Roman god. It's named for a Greek god, and completely breaks the naming convention. Funny word play aside, I'd like to see it renamed Caelus.
Hey don't talk about Uranus like that.
Uranus is good enough, smart enough, and goshdarnit, people like Uranus.
