Harry Naming Things
Foxed:
There's nothing magic about it, and maybe nothing conscious on Harry's part (then again, does Harry ever consciously Name someone?), but I think it does, in fact, matter.

He actually does. He consciously names the Octokongs, and explains why.
It bothers him when scary things don't have a name. Unknown, unnamed, scary things are way scarier than something scary that has a name. He says he goes out of his way to name scary things.

Agreed. And there are thing that dont have known names (like the Octokongs or the Chlorofiend) and then there are things that are actually Nameless, a term Demonreach itself used to describe some beings. Which given the Nature of Names int he DV, is a whole other class of scary in my book

Like how they call themselves the Knights of the Cross but others call them the Knights of the Sword. Granted its a name that Michael denounced in DM when talking about their real purpose and whatnot.
Regardless, I just did a search on every mention of it, and it not presented as something of harry's specifically like the other were, so I dont think it will be significant.

"Grey Council" was coined by Eb not Harry.
Turn Coat. Chapter 49, where Eb is escorting Harry from Edinburgh.
--- Quote ---I thought about it for a minute. "You know that in every objective sense, we're making a Black Council of our own."
"Aye."
"So where does that leave us?"
"With pure hearts and good intentions," he answered. "Our strength shall be the strength of ten."
I snorted loudly.
Ebenezar smiled wearily. "Well, Hoss, we're not going to have much choice other than to be walking down some might dark alleys. And doing it in mighty questionable company. Maybe we should think of ourselves as... a Grey Council."
"Grey Council," I said. We started walking again....{snip}
