i love the name Elliott, too. i saw it on an MTV show ("2-a-Days", i think it was on for two seasons about two years ago) & there was a girl on there with the name, but spelled Eliot or Eliott. she was 17 or 18 at the time of the airing, so i assume she was born around the time i was, mid-80s.

i saw it one other time as a girl's middle name.

i've never met an older woman named Cameron, but definitely A LOT of Merediths, Mallorys, Robins, & especially Danas.

One of my best friends GREAT grandmothers named Cameron... she may have been a rare exception.. but it definitely makes me think of it as a female name as well.
