Help[Opinions] Re: Names from the newest "Hunger Games" book
in reply to a message by Amandine
I just have to say, I love the names Suzanne Collins uses, it's like she's able to channel my 13-year-old self, who would have LOVED all these wacky names.
Maybe Collins tries to pick the most bizarre names she can because she regrets that people named their children Katniss and Rue, and she doesn't actually want any innocent children saddled with names from her books. So she comes up with Panache, Urchin, Tile and Peeler.
Lenore Dove is really pretty though. And I love Louella and Midge.
District 9 is positively normal. I went to school with a Clayton and a Ryan.

I think back then Katniss was almost as unusual as Tile and Peeler. I remember people making fun of it and writing things like "cat nip" and "cat p*ss) even on this board. And there were more unusual ones that didn't catch on in the first books as well such as Glimmer, Marvel, Thresh, Gloss, Lyme, Woof, Seeder and Cashmere. So I doubt this was her intention, she probably genuinely likes the names or finds them interesting at least.
