* {{sense|moon of Uranus}} All of Uranus’s moons are named after characters created by {{w|William Shakespeare}} or {{w|Alexander Pope}}. The names of all four satellites of Uranus then known were suggested by {{w|John Herschel}} in 1852 at the request of {{w|William Lassell}}, though it is uncertain if Herschel devised the names, or if Lassell did so and then sought Herschel’s permission. Ariel is the name of the leading [[sylph]] in Pope’s ''{{w|The Rape of the Lock}}'' and also [[w:Ariel (The Tempest)|the spirit who serves Prospero]] in Shakespeare’s ''{{w|The Tempest}}''.
