> In the lore of Significant Digits, phoenixes choose their own names.

> My assumption was always [Harley Granville Barker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley_Granville-Barker), just because of the Shakesperean link with Hermione, but that might be a stretch; there's a lot of Granvilles out there

>> **u/wren42** [+2]  (a day later)
