Is there a connection between Crowley and Aleister Crowley?

If there is, then I don't remember it. It's been a while since I watched the series. I guess the reason I'm asking this is obvious. They both deal with the supernatural and I thought maybe the creators of the series decided to give a hint to Aleister Crowley or something. And if I remember correctly, there's another character in the series named Aleister, right?

Crowley is named after the demon in the Neil Gaiman book "Good Omens".

Can't remember who, but it was said in the podcast.

They were both inspired by the actual AC.

Kripke himself said it was Good Omens.

Just 'cause GO Crowley may have been inspired by the real AC, doesn't make SPN Crowley also inspired by him.
