Based off her, and her last name is probably a Michael Myers thing. She's based off Chris Higgins, but they didn't want to have her have the same name for copyright reasons maybe? Or they didn't want a ton of Chris Higgins, like how only one Tommy.

Wes from Gun said they had all the rights to character names, but not the likenesses of the actors that portrayed them. With that said, I think you're probably right about them not wanting to have multiple 'name' characters running around in the same match.

Like I said, I guess it's so there isn't a bunch of the same character from the movie.

Her name is a nod to the VOICE ACTRESS who was in a Halloween movie. That's where Myers came from, fun fact. She's based MOSTLY on Chris from 3 yes. She also sort of resembles the girl who dies last in the remake whether intentional or not.

Not exactly. Rights to the franchise and characters aren't the same thing as appearence rights. Tommy Jarvis, for example, they had to licence his appearence from the actor himself. The fact he also agreed to do his own voice is just kind of the icing on that cake.

Tracking down everyone else from the movies, not to mention getting them to agree to it, would be a real hit or miss process, because there's a number of them that are not proud of them, and some have openly condemned the movies they were in. The guy who played Jason in Part 3 went as far as having his name taken off the movie entirely.

TL;DR
They can name the character the same thing, but without the actress' permission and a contract, they couldn't use her exact appearance.
