heh. I keep thinking about the dancer. Isn't that a famous opera, Carmen? the one with the dancer who dies of galloping consumption or something? I can't recall, but I was pretty sure there was a deathbed scene. Possibly with a lot of camellias, or maybe that's a different opera with a famous deathbed scene. Uhm.

Actually, you're right: both Cameron and Carmen are considered gender-neutral in English, these days. Cameron isn't as common a girl's name, but Diaz' definitely made it popular enough that I wouldn't be surprised if the next generation uses that name a lot more than previously. These things rise and fall in popularity, after all.
