How did Cameron get her name?
Jun 4 2009, 7:07 PM EDT | Post edited: Jun 4 2009, 7:07 PM EDT
Okay so I gotta plug my fan fic again. If anyone is wondering how Cameron got her name I think I came up with a pretty unique way.

Fan reason or real reason? I'm pretty sure the real one was as homage to James Cameron. Do you find this valuable?

No I mean fictional reason. Like how John Connor named her. I did read awhile back that JF did it as a tribute to James Cameron though. Do you find this valuable?

"Fan reason or real reason? I'm pretty sure the real one was as homage to James Cameron."
Story reason, I assumed. I just had John give her the name arbitrarily. If you look up the meaning, it certainly doesn't apply to the character's appearance; Cameron means "crooked nose", and it's a man's name.

'Cameron' is a gender-neutral name. John gave it to her. Do you find this valuable?

"'Cameron' is a gender-neutral name. John gave it to her."
It's only a gender-neutral name in modern times, like so many other names today. Historically, I highly doubt it was ever used for women.

A lot of names are neutral nowadays. Change of the times, and all that.

John Connor was a big fan of the show House.

p.s. There is a character on there named Allison Cameron.

He inserted her chip and when she came to life, he said "What shall I call you, you Allison impersonator?"

She responded by saying "Since the program you have installed in my chip was written by a German computer scientist in 2024, you should name me 'Cameron', which of course in German means a 'whale's vagina.'"

From the pilot. Her name was on the list of students, right before john. She must have named herself, or maybe future john gave her the name.
And yes the name is an homage to the great Jim Cameron.
