Help[Opinions] Re: Katrelle... Katriel... Katniss...
in reply to a message by Francesca
I don't know about The Hunger Games reference, but I hate Katniss. I don't think they're that similar...it seems sort of like equating Albert with Alvin, or Willard with William.
I see what you mean about the made-up aspect, which is my main reservation: it strikes me as possibly ditzy-sounding (which is a characteristic I ascribe to made-up names). But on the other hand, all variations of classic names were at some point made up...which I guess is why I was asking the question.
Actually, objectively, if I hadn't heard this name in real life, I doubt I would like it (for the reasons you stated), but since I have and I recall it positively, I don't think I can view it as 'juvenile' or tacky...
