It follows established naming conventions for PBT rereleases of existing GMK-produced sets
Whom it was designed by is separate. GMK Olivia being named after Olivia, a known and established designer, was a personal choice. A different set with a relatively similar design doesn’t also have to be named after them. I don’t call Spellbook “Novelkeys_ Bub” or GMK Copper “GMK fatboycarney.” I see what you’re getting at, but it’s missing the point
I don’t think they need to rename it, but it would be nice to have an upfront disclaimer that it’s not a recreation, but a similarly inspired set
