I think that is exactly the problem. Having the stigma of a Disney character attached to it has tarnished the value of Pluto in many scientists eyes.
Take Uranus on the other hand, no...really, do it - this distant planet has long been the butt of jokes, but no scientists are trying to wipe it off the list of planets. In fact, scientists think Uranus is just fine.
I believe if Pluto was named, say, Urgina or even Urmama, we wouldn't be having this discussion at all.
In conclusion, I don'l like your micka-mouse idea...however, I would be in support of changing the spelling and pronunciation of our little blue planet to Erf.
