And Uranus (when spoken aloud) means “your butt”. Is this really a big concern?

No, I’m from Spain and have never though about that "no va" thing. Nova comes from Latin AFAIK. It would be "nueva" in Spanish and "nuova" in Italian.

Edit: Uranus is Latin too :)

Future astronomers will rename it to "Urectum" to stop the stupid jokes.
