[Opinions] Re: Crystalshine
Why smash two English words together and then say that it means something else in English? We know what crystal means and we know what shine means, and neither of those words mean "bringer".

It irks me so much too. Can't these people at least say "my parents waned it to be symbolic of *thing*"? It's probably my biggest pet peeve for names.It's all fun and games until I name my daughter Dawn and go around telling people it means hope, causing several aneurysms.

None of them means "light" or "sight" either....I guess shine could mean "light" in a poetic way.
