A subtle hint that Prometheus is indeed in the Alien universe?

[TheTrekman]

Okay, so it's been previously stated that Michael Fassbender's character will be an android and in the most recent article up on the main page, we now know that his character's name is David.

Ash - Alien
Bishop - Aliens, Alien 3
Call - Alien Resurrection
David - Prometheus

It continues the naming theme for androids in the Alien series!

Never knew it went with the alphabet.

Never knew it went with the alphabet.

It may not have anything to do with it, still a cool coincidence.

[SM]

Yup.

And may have sweet FA to do with Alien.

[Alexa Chung]

am i supposed to take something from the fact they've chosen the least evocative name possible

[samoht]

David is a Badass name.

I got a question. When did they start the alphabet name theming? Because I thought in Resurrection they named Call the android Call because of that. But I am wondering if Cameron thought of that too, and that's why he named his android Bishop. It could be coincidence for the first two and Resurrection picked up on it. IDK though. Anybody know for sure? Just curious.

David is a Badass name.

F*#k yeah dude, just ask David Hasselhoff.

Ellen Ripley from Alien movies
Elizabeth Shaw from Prometheus

Ok, so Noomi Rapace will be the main female hero. Her character's name is Elizabeth Shaw.
Seems It continues the alphabet naming theme( R-S) for main characters 
Another coincidence ?!

[SiL]

Yes, considering her first name doesn't start with F.

[SM]

FS!

Elizabeth Shaw is a goldmine for Dr Who: Ark in Space conspiracy theorists.
