Did you hear that they nicknamed the 10th planet they found "Xena" after the unbelievably chintzy TV show?
Also discovered was it's moon, which has been dubbed Gabriella, after her faithful traveling sidekick.
I wonder what astronomers of old would say -- those who named celestial bodies after gods, the Almighties of their day -- if told that modern scientists name the stars after their favorite defecations.

Uranus was the first ruler of the unverise, father of the titans (which were individually more powerful than any god), and the hundred handed monsters. His blood, upon touching earth created the furies (who personified conscience and punished crimes) and his cast off flesh gave birth to Aphrodite.
You assume that because the name sounds like Your Anus in english that it has lost all honor.
How infantile.
