After the discovery of Neptune, as a planet (Galileo observed Neptune in 1612 and 1613, but thought it to be a star), it was often referred to as "The Planet Exterior to Uranus" and "Le Verrier's Planet" (in reference to Urbain Le Verrier, who predicted Neptune's position within one degree). Johann Gottfried Galle, one of the astronomers who took part in the search for Neptune, proposed that Neptune be named Janus. James Challis, another such astronomer, suggested the name Oceanus. In the end it was Le Verrier who suggested the name Neptune, although there were many complications before the name was finally accepted.
