Comment on Is there a precise date of when Greek names of deities have mostly replaced Roman names in common use?

All I know is that it’s insane that we call the seventh planet from the Sun “Uranus.” Not only does this lead to extremely tired and cliched jokes, but there’s literally no reason to name the planet that. Uranus is a Greek name, while all the other planets have Roman names. The seventh planet should be called Caelus. This eliminates tired jokes as well as makes the planet’s name compatible with those of the other worlds in our system.
