fair enough try. but tis already established that cloverfield is just a street near one of the producers' office.

As far as everything else, those and similar ideas are being bandied about.

J.J. basically said that it was the name of the street. However this post is good for discussion anyway, and thats funny because you will get trouted for it by someone.

I mean, i know 'out of plot' reason behind why the movie was made, the whole production office thing... But what's the 'in-plot' reason for it? They wanted the name to have a "Manhattan Project" feel to it, as if it were a real government issue. But even the origin of the name "The Manhattan Project" is relevant to the name. So what's the relevancy of the 'in-plot' origin to the name "Cloverfield?"

All right no one has yet trouted. Lets begin discussion. In-plot it could be like mr neil said, that it spreads like clover. I can buy that one. I really dont have another reason for the in-plot reason maybe thats just the name of the monster.

That could be just as good. I mean J.J. always has his little things that only he knows what they represent like the name of the film. That has just as much weight as any other theory here unless you believe it to be Godzilla, then you can kiss my ass.
