All the times Crowley calls Aziraphale by name - Chronological order

A few considerations. 1) After the Ark encounter, Crowley does call Aziraphale mainly 'Angel' over the centuries (Bildad, 1793, 1827, 1862) with one exception: 1827, when Wee Morag is dying and Crowley needs the angel to realize it's too late to heal her. Which is a major clue to the fact that calling him 'Aziraphale' could be a term of endearment. 2) Which may or may not be confirmed by the drunken scene after the fire: when Crowley sees the angel almost as a ghost, he says 'Aziraphale' - not 'Angel'. 3) After the Ark, considering the plot up to Season 1, the name 'Aziraphale' comes out when Crowley is calling after delivering the Antichrist (very formal occasion) and when Crowley is scared and/or angered (where are you, you idiot) or annoyed (kick butts, shoot him), 4) The Lockdown scene starts with a very sarcastic Crowley scolding the angel because he obviously knows it's 'Aziraphale' calling (again, annoyed), but it ends with the most heavenly 'Goodnight, Angel' after realizing he can't see him, yet. 5) As for Season 2, Crowley NEVER directly calls Aziraphale by name when they are alone together (see the very satisfying aformentioned 'Angel' compilation); however, when he's talking with other angels and/or demons he uses his first name - which is most convenient since they are more vulnerable around them. 6) The Us time they never got still breaks me.

In conclusion, I totally agree with @justdecadentcollectiondestiny (read this): There's probably a very good reason why Crowley stops calling Aziraphale 'Angel' after the bookshop fire - at least he stops until everything is over with Adam and Satan. I'm also sure there's a reason why Crowley refers to him only as 'Angel' throughout the whole second season (*Cough - quiet and gentle and romantic omens - *Cough). He felt safe enough; it was the time he dared to hope that the precious, peaceful, fragile existence would really work.

Of course, this is mere speculation. But the use of the two different names has meaning. Once again, hail to Neil. The Goat. This perfectionism (intended or unintended) delivers perfectly, and you can totally perceive the rollercoaster of Crowley's feelings for Aziraphale, from Eden to You're better than that.

Of course the first time he calls him "angel" it comes from Bildad the Shuhite. It couldn't be more perfect. Oh, the last one hurts.

He's never hosted a meeting, ever. Why the change of heart? He's unpredictable. He's discovered his civic obligations.

I've always believed that Aziraphale KNOWS that he's in love with Crowley [JUST LOOK AT THE WAY HE LOOKS AT CROWLEY OMFG!!!!], which is unacceptable to an angel. That's why he's always seen to restrain his feelings. On the other hand, Crowley is the clueless one. He's the one who doesn't recognize Aziraphale's and his own feelings even though he's head over heels in love with the angel. They have been together for so long that everything has become habits, and he's never wondered why he's done all these things. MAN, IT'S BECAUSE YOU F*CKING LOVE THIS ANGEL!!!

Crowley's Outfits/Looks in Season Two of Good Omens

From the Behind-the-Scenes Good Omens 2 videos:

Annie McEwan (Hair & Makeup Designer): David's so keen to be extraordinarily different in every single opportunity. David Tennant: The look we have for him in the show is not quite as he's described in the book because the tv version of Good Omens is sort of set now rather than back when the book was written. Crowley's sort of of-the-moment that he's in, unlike Aziraphale whose rather frozen in aspic and has worn the same clothes for hundreds of years. I think Crowley likes to sort of feel like he's of the moment that he's in so he has to be a little bit rock 'n' roll. I don't know how en vogue he really is.

Aziraphale & Crowley appreciation post. Just because I love them so much.

We've known each other a long time. We've been on this planet for a long time. I mean, you and me. I could always rely on you. You could always rely on me. We're a team, a group. Group of the two of us. And we've spent our existence pretending that we aren't...
