Rename Uranus to Caelus

The Issue

We should rename Uranus to Caelus, not only because it becomes the butt of the joke (no pun intended) but also because it does not follow the naming structure of every other planet there is. Every other planet is based of the Roman God’s naming convention, while Uranus is based off of the Greek naming of the god of the heavens and sky. The Roman god of the sky’s and heaven is named Caelus, which is a much better and less funny name.
