I had an astronomy teacher in HS who pronounced Uranus "YOO-rin-us," presumptively to avoid saying "your anus." But his work-around just made him say "urine" instead. You might want to mention this difficulty in your speech.

Uranus is better than the originally proposed name: George's Star.

Actually, the originally proposed name was "A$$hole."
