OOP: What do you make of this name?

[musicisme21]

No: HPFGUIDX 66535

I'm not sure if anyone has already brought this up or not (sorry, I'm 
quite behind in my posts, I'm sure everyone can relate), but in 
addition to all the other HP names that are also names of 
constellations and stars...Hermione is also the name of a 
constellation, in the top 20 list of constellations either closest or 
most prominent to Earth (sorry, can't remember which).
