Help[Opinions] Actually...
in reply to a message by Francesca
The main character in HG is Katniss. Named after the plant.
And my 'actually' is about your observation. Did you know that Hunger Games has already beat out Twilight for named-after babies. In that, more people are naming their kids after Hunger Games characters than people did after Twilight's characters. I found that interesting.
As a side note: The name Katniss always sounded like cat piss to me. Until I read the books. The character (in the first novel) is pretty awesome. Made me warm up to the name. Would never, ever, ever use it though!

Say what you like about twilight, and believe me I have plenty of things to say, but at least the characters had, for the most part, great names. Except for Cullen. And Renesmee or however it's spelt.
On another note, I need to read these books.

No, I totally agree. That horrific series had some gorgeous names. Isabella (i much prefer Isabel though), Edward, Jacob, Jasper, ROSALIE (my favvvv), Alice... er... some others.
You need to read Hunger Games or Twilight? Twilight will melt your brain, so careful. Hunger Games isn't for everyone. I thought the first book was downright amazing, the second book was good, and the third book was absolute drivel. I know you didn't ask for my opinion, but... I'm opinionated. lol

Not to mention Felix, Esme, Caius...uh the vampire dads name which I've forgotten how to spell (Carslile? Carlisle? ugh...that one). It's a crappy reason to choose a kids name, but at least they are choosing some great names.
And I meant the hunger games. I read twilight already...although I don't know how. Tried to read it a second time (I reread all my books, even ones I don't like) and...my brain melted on the first page of the first book.
Opinions always welcome :) I'll have to see if I can get my hands on said books first without paying a fortune (in Switzerland...already over my weight limit from here and we go back in a couple of weeks any way)
ETA: Carlisle it is! Major blank brain moment.

Yeah, I read the books so long ago I don't remember most of their names. I never liked Carlisle. Although my friend seriously thought it was pronounce car-LIZ-uhl so that provided a lot of entertainment for me. And made reading the books more fun. Like every character was suddenly Snoop Dogg... lol
I commend you! I could BARELY finish it the first time.
I'd say get the first book by itself. Worth it. So, so worth it. I wish I could reread it but I hate rereading books so soon after I last finished them.
