[Opinions] Re: Crystal ETA
Crystal is a guilty pleasure of mine - I find it quite pretty, and I like the meaning (ice). I play with it sometimes when I'm in an OTT 80's-90's phase. Also it gained a neat association when I saw the 1939 movie "The Women" starring Joan Crawford as a character named Crystal. Seeing it in a chic retro light was really fun.Anyways! George and Crystal seem very opposite in character - one is so staid and conservative/classic while the other is more lighthearted. So I suppose it depends what sort of tone you want the names to take. I don't dislike them together - there is just a separateness to them: like maybe they are half-siblings, or Crystal was born fifteen years after George. George is a funny name for me- it's very much an "old man name", not as contemporary-classic as something like James, Alexander, or Thomas. These are names I could see as a sibling to Crystal (that I also think would sound nice):Crystal & Kenneth
Crystal & Nicholas
Crystal & Craig
Crystal & Shane
Crystal & Kyle
Crystal & Michael
Crystal & Zachary
Crystal & Cameron
Crystal & Jody
Crystal & Kurt
Crystal & Ray
Crystal & JoshuaEdited to add:I totally forgot about Crystal's sister!I knew a Crystal who had a sister Cassandra. I think that would work.Crystal & Heather
Crystal & Karen
Crystal & Holly
Crystal & Jessica
Crystal & Robin
Crystal & Nicole
Crystal & Amanda
Crystal & Kelly
Crystal & Shannon
Crystal & Dawn (cheesy, I know)
Crystal & Tina

I read a girls' story, years ago, about two girls, Diamond and Crystal.Diamond was the leader, Crystal, the follower. Both were misguided, though. The real heroine of the story was a girl named Laurice. I read it when I was about 12, for goodness sake!The story seems to have stuck.
