Nellie's daughter instantly won over the hearts of the Dawson family elders. Cameron, who had been distant at first, found himself growing more attached to his daughter. After the party, Cameron approached Nellie, clearly unhappy about their daughter's name. "Nina's too plain. How about we change it?"

Nellie just brushed him off. She had chosen that name, hoping it would bring her strength and resilience.

Cameron, clueless about her reasoning, dismissed her choice as unsophisticated. "Greta's come up with a chic name, Norah. What do you think?"

Cameron, red-faced with frustration, shot back, "You're being completely unreasonable."

He then authoritatively declared, "Norah will be her new name," and left before Nellie could argue.
