We want to know, what would YOU name the #Uranus Orbiter & Probe Mission?

i afraid that this naming contest will get out of control !
see British Exploration vessel that do a contest, was named “Boaty McBoatface”
i mean that people will propose names like colonoscopy or even totally outrageously names.
Let hope NASA has last word in the matter...
That name was used for an ESA infrared space telescope.Herschel, after the astronomer who discovered the planet.
Here's one; Fullfyllan, after the old English word for 'Fulfill'.
EDIT: If the probe was one that going to Jupiter or even Saturn, I would suggest Elizabeth R.
Well, you know in hindsight....Is that choice of wording a deliberate in-joke, one wonders?
Here's a joke I've been waiting years to tell. "What do the starship Enterprise and toilet paper have in common? They both circle Uranus wiping out Klingons.Is that choice of wording a deliberate in-joke, one wonders?
I really like that but some troll is going to suggest Marlowe.Mmm, what about Shakespeare for the orbiter? More innuendo aside, most of the moons in the planet's system is named after characters he created. And Le Verrier for the probe. It would also be a nice blend of art and science.

Are you in? I didn't feel a thingImagine when the probe has reached Uranus and then they have to report, "We now have now achieved Orbital Penetration", is that based upon a K-Y factor?
