I don't see the need. I like a good joke.

Why?
It is only the juvenile mind that makes that connection.
Uranus is the ancient Greek deity of the Heavens, the earliest supreme god. A very apt name for the first planet to be discovered since the telescope was invented.

Perhaps a better elementary educational system would be a better solution. The problem lies not in the spelling but educating persons on it's proper pronounciation.
YUR'-uh-nus
It's only funny to persons who pick their nose and fart in public. They giggle at their own stupidity not at the word.

Only kiddies and those with infantile minds think the Uranus pun is hilarious so why bother worrying about it at all : )

No. Anyone with any level of maturity will not see it as a joke.

No.
But, as they did in reclassifying Pluto as a non-planet, they should recognize that Uranus is, in fact, a small black hole.
