So I believe my ship was named after the greek Hermione, too. Good to 
know who that original Hermione was, actually. I didn´t know! Is there 
anything in the character or in the story of the mythical Hermione 
that could give us a hint about how things will go on with "our" 
Hermione?

Any french people around here who could verify that the name hasn´t 
been changed in the french editions?
