The planet Uranus was originally called Georgium Sidus (George's Star) by its discoverer William Herschel. This didn't go well outside of Britain so it was named after the Greek deity of the sky. English speaking astronomers have had to deal with the giggling ever since.
@evilscientistca They should have just called it Herschel. It would sound like a boring accountant, but..it would be more mature..right?
@mewnirebel that was one of the suggestions but was rejected.
