A great masculine name. I chose it for my first son because it's a strong, masculine name that isn't bizarre or faddish. Also sounds normal when it's shorted to Cam.

I know people named Cameron. They’re alright, but they’re rude when they want to be. I don’t like the meaning that much, but the name itself isn’t too bad.

My significant other is named Cameron.
Personally, I didn’t like this name much before I met my boyfriend as I was bullied by a girl named Cameron in middle school. I thought it sounded like ‘camera’ (I believe most people do), and I just found it a bit tacky, for lack of a better word.
It’s quite funny how people can shape your perspective of a name!
Now that I’m in a committed relationship with a lovely Cameron, I think the name is quite nice. I don’t think it’s tacky at all anymore and I actually find it to be quite professional and mature sounding, especially considering the fact that my boyfriend is English and it’s said quite nicely in his accent. It’s not my one of my favourite names, but I like it a lot more than I used to and I think it’s a great choice for a child.
My boyfriend often goes by Cam as a nickname and I really like it. I like to call him Cammy just to tease him, which I think sounds quite cute!

What's kinda funny about my experience with this name is when I first heard it, it was because of Cameron Diaz, a female (I don't live in an English speaking country), but over time, I failed to see it as a feminine name and I much more like it as a guy's name, but a female can pull it off as well. For a girl the nickname Cammy or Cammie is great and a guy can go by Cam. Plus, nowadays if I had to tie it to a celeb, I'd tie it to the late Cameron Boyce.

Plus, I really like the fact that it's a unisex name, but it's still primarily a guy's name, unlike with other unisex names, where the ratio is much more equal or leans towards female.

The mammalian nose is a natural compass. Our sense of direction is located in the nose with the sinuses reacting to subtle environmental changes which can be compared to the ebb and tide of the oceans. If something is "crooked" or "bent" it is not boring, mundane nor straightforward.
Therefore, the name Cameron suggests to me that he or she "makes their own way". Cameron is headstrong, a leader who traverses the least likely path and no two of the same name are alike. Individualistic, unique, daring, and rebellious by nature, Cameron surely leaves his or her lasting impression anywhere their direction points their attention. It's a strong name that is sure to spearhead new frontiers in a direction no one expects.

Hello, I have read a ton of messages about this name! Frankly I don’t give a darn what anyone thinks! I named my daughter Cameron solely because I heard the name from Cameron Diaz! And I absolutely love the fact that it's more rare for a girl to be named it! I never even heard or knew any males named Cameron in my life when I gave my daughter the name! And the name suits my daughter to a T! Sometimes girly and sometimes tough tomboy! She’s 15 now and goes by CAM!

Sron is nose in Gaelic (Irish and Scots) pronounced "shrone". Cam is broken, twisted, bent, whatever. Put an adjective like cam before a noun like sron and the s gets a dot or an h which "hushes" the s getting Cam shron pronounced cam ron which in English adds an e for came er on. Meaning is broken or twisted nose which like cam beal (mouth) is twisted mouth like a snarl. When tribesmen were setting up shop, they wanted to be like Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor in jail: "We bad! We bad!" With a strut and an attitude. (Cam beal probably should be cam bheal like camval but the husher after a b might not apply.) It's like saying, "I have a broken nose but you should see what I did to the other guy." Or "I snarl and twist my mouth at my opponents." Elizabeth Peters in A Legend in Green Velvet has an archeologist go to Scotland and she meets the Camerons whose battle slogan had been, "Come, ye dogs, and get meat!" The English regarded the Scots as savages who did not fight like proper soldiers. In North America, the Scots fighters with the British would duck when shot at, crawl up to a position and sneak up behind you. The Native Americans were astonished: they fought like Indians. So Cameron is fine for a boy or a girl, like Ashley, Courtney, Kennedy, Kerry, Shannon, place names. Hamburg, Lorraine, Shleswig, Alsace, Paris: mixed opinion.

I really like this name! However, I prefer and visualize it on boys more than girls. Plus, I kind of laughed when I found out it meant "crooked nose". But I don't let meanings ruin a name... I just settle on the name itself.

My name is Cameron. I believe that my name is a wonderful name and if I were to have a child their name might be mine in the fact that most Cameron's are kind, sweet, and comedic in (almost) every way. Almost always they make the others around them erupt in laughter.

I love the name Cameron. I have been a Cameron for 16 years and wouldn't wish for anything to change. Quite frankly I am offended at the comments suggesting it is only a boy's name considering I am a girl with a beautiful nose so take that. Ha. Ha. ha.

My name happens to be Cameron, and I also happen to be a girl. I will admit it is definitely a more masculine unisex name, but it is in no way a totally 'masculine' name. I was not named after Cameron Diaz or any celebrity, I was named after my great great grandmother. I also dislike the variations that make an attempt to make it more feminine, it just messes people up and now I have to spell my name out to people. I have met two other Cameron's, one being a boy and the other a girl. My parents in no way named me Cameron in an act of defiance to gender norms (That's so dumb). And I don't really think avoiding naming a kid Cameron because it means crooked nose is smart.

I read a few other comments on other websites saying this name is 100% a male name and stuff. It made me cry also when they said it was a unisex name. My name's Cameron and I'm a girl. My mom named me after Cameron Diaz. Most people in my school thought of it as a boy name... actually... my first boyfriend ever broke up with me because he thought I was unisex... For me it really could be either. I've met boys and girls with the name Cameron. Please don't call it unisex though. I hope my name doesn't effect my future...

I know the majority believe this name stems from the Gaelic words 'cam' and 'sron' (crooked nose) or the lowlands meaning crooked hill (cam brun) or from Cambernon, however there is a brand of Scottish whisky called 'Glen Deveron' and also a river in Scotland called Deveron. Both list the meaning of Deveron as coming from two separate Gaelic words: 'dubh' and 'eireann' (black Ireland) so it would make more sense to me if Cameron stemmed from something as simple as that. Although Cam is usually always translated as 'crooked' so not sure about that. Just my opinion of course but if the Eron in Deveron means Eireann surely it should mean the same in Cameron.
Other than that, using the 'brun/bron instead of sron, there's a place called Poulnabrone in Ireland from the Gaelic 'poll na mbron' (bro meaning quern stone/mill stone in Irish so could Cameron in its Cambron form be a reduced name originating from crooked quern stones lol. Who knows? It could be any of the many meanings attributed to it.

It's a bit young sounding for my taste, but it's a cute name for a boy and makes me picture a sweet kid with a big heart. I think it could work for a girl if she had the right kind of personality, like a tomboy or a hard rocker type, and the nickname "Cammie" sounds very feminine to me. I still prefer it for a boy, though.

I LOVE THIS NAME! I think Cameron is a lovely name and I think it's a good name for a boy, not a girl. If this name was given to a girl I think it would be stupid.

Cameron is quite an interesting name. It was a name used for women mostly instead of men where I came from before America, so I have a hard time seeing any masculinity in it. However, USA has surprised me with how carefree its names are. All the same, I find the name Cameron to have a very in-depth show of character, regardless of its translation.

I love the name Cameron, it's so cute for someone of all ages especially the nickname Cam,
It really started to grow on me. Which is odd because years ago I was the girl that said this "is an ugly boy name to me now." But maybe a change of associations makes me love the name it's like really awesome middle names are, Cameron Aiden, Cameron Xavier, Cameron Marcus, Cameron Elliott, Cameron Ryan and Cameron Edward. I personally love Cameron Aiden the best out of the whole list.

As a female Cameron, I used to think my name was just "bleh" and kind of plain. It wasn't cute or girly to me, but then as I grew up I realized I'm not very cute or girly either. I love the name now, because it's not terribly common where I live and it fits my tough, tomboyish personality. If anyone wants to name their daughter Cameron, I say DO IT! That goes for sons too! But all the male Camerons I know are feminine, so don't be surprised if their gender role is all out of whack!

I positively love this name for a boy- and a boy ONLY. Cameron on the male gender sounds regal and mature. I can easily image a quiet, sweet boy with curly hair and kind eyes that holds all the knowledge in the world. It is perfectly fine for a boy- but I cannot say the same for a girl. It is clearly obvious that this is a MASCULINE name not feminine, but at last the creatures know as the trendy parents want to do whatever it takes and change that. *sigh*
No matter what you do with this wonderful male name it will forever remain the same. Even if you try to spell it "creatively" and make it more "feminine"
And besides, on a girl it sounds trendy and disgustingly awkward and seems like her parents really wanted a boy instead of a girl. Can't anyone give their daughters strong, classic FEMININE names? Thanks.

Does NOT just mean "crooked nose".

I think it can be very pretty, and seems to fit in with my sister's personality. Original, tomboyish, strong-minded, funny and cute...(and it's fun to tease her about it's alternate meaning, though her nose is straight and beautiful).

I think Cameron is a cool name for a boy. NOT for a girl. I would consider naming a future son Cameron because it is strong and modern without being too crazy. Cameron is a surname but is one of those surnames that are cool enough for a first name. Awesome name.

How is this a pretty girl name?! In no way is this name feminine, and I'm starting to think that people are just going to name their daughters any male name they want, no matter how masculine it sounds. That's what it seems like its getting to, because Cameron has always been a boy name until the immature generation of cutesy, childish, and masculine names came about. I don't think I'll ever understand how this sounds like it would fit a girl; I can't see it on a girl of any age, especially not an old woman! It makes me want to vomit. One more thing, spelling it "kamryn" or whatever horrible crap your kre8tiv little minds think up is just... I don't even know what to say. I guess it'd be like naming your daughter willyam, thomys, or michyl.
Ok, now that I got that off my chest, I have to say that I do really like this name for a boy. Unfortunately it's popularity has made it sound like more of a little boys name, but I think personally it will suit all ages with dignity. And the nickname cam is adorable :)

I have read in alternate sources that the full meaning of the name is "crooked nosed wagon maker", and of course there was a whole Scottish clan by the name of Cameron. That's a lot of crooked noses. Perhaps they didn't make very good wagons and were punched by a lot of irate Gaelic customers?

Cameron was the name of Ferris Bueller's best friend in the popular film Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), played by Alan Ruck. I'm apt to think this is the start of its popularity in the US.
The only Cameron I've ever known personally was back in high school Spanish class and was also male. Everyone called him shrimp because Cameron is similar to the Spanish word, camaron. He was also tall, which made it more amusing and led me to remember to never name a child this.

Again, like Campbell, I find it odd that someone would want to use this name as a first name, especially for a girl. It has a rather odd meaning. If it was some relative's maiden name or something of that sort, it would be understandable. "Cam" is a cute nickname, but if you're choosing the name for that nickname, there are other feminine names out there beginning with "Cam."

I think this name is adorable on a baby boy, and it is a name that will still fit them when they grow up. The only thing I don't like is the meaning.

I don't like this name on girls and women at all. It's actually quite a good name for men. When it's used for girls, it just sort of seems like the parents think feminine names are inferior to masculine ones, and their daughter is so much cooler and above all the girly girls out there, that they have to name her something masculine becasue it's cool. Well, it doesn't sound all that cool on a woman who isn't young anymore.

Another famous and fictional bearer of the name is Cameron Phillips, the time-traveling friendly terminator portrayed by Summer Glau in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Cameron "Buck" Williams is one of the main characters in Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim Lahaye's Left Behind series. He was a reporter and he married pilot Rayford Steele's daughter Chloe and they had a baby boy in the fourth book and named him Kenneth Bruce Williams. (Kenny). After some friends they had had that had died. I like this name except for some reason I can only associate it with girls, unless I am thinking about the Left Behind books, and think of Buck. This name just seems very feminine to me, unless these books pop into my mind.

Being both Scottish and Cameron, I thought I would add a little comment.
Cameron is not a unisex name. It is in fact (in Scotland) a very popular Scottish boys name. In 2007, it was the 6th most popular name for newborn boys (you can search for Scottish births and registrars for the rest), which was the same position it held the year before. The years before that I think it was even more popular.
For example, in my son's class there are three boys called Cameron. At the same time, not one girl in Scotland was, or probably ever will be registered Cameron, simply because it is a boys name.
I realise that in America, it may be considered unisex, although comments below suggest that came from one famous actress being given the name, but should she ever come to scotland, she would be a girl with a boys name.

I can't imagine meeting a girl named Cameron, I'm just too used to it being a boy's name. In my mind, it's far too masculine!

Dumb name. It's a surname.

I absolutely LOVE this name! I don't know if I like it any less now that I know it means "crooked nose." =P I like it for a boy, but I don't think it would sound very nice on a girl. However, if that were the case, I agree that "Kameryn" is a much more feminine and cute spelling.

I like this for a girl, but LOVE it for a boy. A nice nickname could be Cam, which was the nickname for a kid (male) in my school.

I don't know why but I love the name on a girl! I think it's common yet complex. And yes spelled the way it is.

This is a guy's name, and it should stay that way, I much prefer it that way, and if I EVER use it, I would as a guy's name.

I like the name Cameron. For a first name or a surname. It is nice and Scottish and I don't think it's too common in Scotland at all.

A nice name. I don't like it much more on a girl though, especially with some godawful spelling like 'Kamryn.'

I hate this name. It's boring and every Cameron I have known of is really annoying.

This used to be my favorite girl name, but I'm over that state. Although I have to say I like it besides my dislike of Cameron Diaz. The only Cameron I know is a boy and he is a royal pain, he's just a bad person.

This name sounds very strong and masculine, but I have never known anyone with the first name Cameron. Only the surname.

I can't help it but I just think it is a boy's name. I guess I know too many men and boys named Cameron, no girls. But it is masculine sounding.

This name is only popular for girls because of Cameron Diaz. I do not know anyone with this name, boy or girl, but I think it is much more suitable for boys. It sounds and looks masculine.

This is one of the least feminine unisex names that I have ever heard. It is only as popular as it is for girls because of Cameron Diaz.

One of the new famous "bratzdolls" name is Cameron (that's a boy).

Cameron (Camshròn) does sound like a good, gender-neutral name, but think about what it means: "crooked nose". Not exactly a charming thing to say about someone.

On another note, for my cousin's daughter, who was born with a crooked foot, I came up with the nickname Camcoise (KAM-koy-sha), roughly translated as "curve of the foot".

Kameryn is also a derivative of Cameron. Kameryn is feminine.
