I never saw this topic covered anywhere here so I thought I would post it. Her name means : "God's promise", "oath of God", "pledged to God", "Consecrated to God" or "I am God’s daughter". I just thought it relevant, given Ridley's attention to detail and the subject matter. Elisabeth e-lisabe-th, el(i)-sa-beth as a girl's name is a variant of Elizabeth (Hebrew). Gender: F Origin of Elisabeth: Spelling variation of Elizabeth Meaning of Elisabeth: "pledged to God", "God's promise", "God is my oath","Consecrated to God", "I am God’s daughter".

Interesting! Found this; the meaning of the name Peter. It's Greek for rock or stone. The Titan Prometheus was tied to a rock. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_(given_name)]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_(given_name)[/url]

The poster was good though!

Very interesting indeed. It kind of falls into place, though, since she's named after the barren Elisabeth from the bible.

excellent thread Svanya, adds a definition to Shaw's, and hopefully other characters parts in the film for sure.

It fits, but then again, there are loads of "Christian" names with Biblical origins. My own included.
The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent

David is interesting also As it means beloved, also applies to King and Beloved Son and sometimes favored of God. Jesus is not refereed as Son of God, it is Lords Salvation or Salvation.

Now that's interesting BigDave! If Ridley and gang are going down the Jeebus was an engineer route, then maybe the engineers are guardians of Gods essence (the black stuff maybe? Or maybe the green crystal thingy?) *smiley*

The poster was good though!

@BigDavel; In the cut scenes Weyland refers to himself as God and David as his son made in his own image. We also know David is his favourite child.
