Word associations

Once upon a time I took a test or played a game, I don't remember which, where you heard several words and had to say what they had in common. So here's my word game. What do Beautiful, Oasis, and Lucifer all have in common? You might reply that they are all relative to Christmas Mountains Oasis, and you wouldn't be wrong. BUT there's something more interesting that they have in common. They're all the common names for three separate, but similar, hummingbird species. I find that fascinating!
