If you love The Hunger Games you'll absolutely love these baby names
If you’ve had the pleasure of either reading Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games or watched the movies, you probably have a favourite character that you rooted for throughout the trilogy.
In light of the release of the concluding film, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, we though it only fitting to compile a list of baby names that lovers of the science fiction novels can be inspired by.
We've changed some of the names a little to make them more suitable to everyday life, but that doesn't mean you have to!
Girls:
1. Atala – training coach
2. Alma – leader of District 13
3. Bonnie – rebel from District 8
4. Cato – male tribute from District 2 but we prefer it as a girls' name
5. Cecelia – female tribute from District 8
6. Cressida – resident director from the Capitol
7. Clove – female tribute from District 2
8. Cresta – Annie Cresta won the 70th Hunger Games
9. Delly – refugee from District 13 and Peeta’s friend
10. Johanna – female tribute from District 7
11. Katniss – the protagonist of the story
12. Mags – female tribute from District 4
13. Effie – Capitol-born chaperon who oversees the tributes from District 12
14. Everly – we didn’t think Everdeen would make a great first name so we changed it a little!
15. Gale – Katniss’ best friend
16. Primrose – Katniss’ younger sister
17. Prim – we liked Primrose so much we though you could use her nickname
18. Posy – Gale’s sister
19. Rue – female tribute from District 11
20. Seneca – Head Gamekeeper during the 74th Hunger Games
Boys:
1. Haymitch – mentor of District 12’s tributes
2. Peeta – the male tribute from District 12
3. Caesar – Master of Ceremonies and commentator of the games
4. Castor – part of Cressida’s camera crew from the Capitol
5. Cinna – Katniss’ stylist
6. Claudius – announcer and commentator of the games
7. Cray – Head Peacekeeper of District 12
8. Con (Coriolanus) – ruler of the Capitol (we thought Coriolanus was a bit much!)
9. Darius – friendly Peacekeeper who was turned into an Avox
10. Deen – we can't have a name list without getting Everdeen in there somewhere!
11. Finnick – male tribute from District 4
12. Jackson – a member of Katniss' sharpshooting team, The Star Squad
13. Marvel – male from District 1
14. Mell – Peeta’s father (Mr. Mellark might be a bit extreme so Mell is an alternative.)
15. Mitchell – a member of Katniss' sharpshooting team, The Star Squad
16. Pollux – part of Cressida’s camera crew from the Capitol
17. Rory – Gale’s younger sibling
18. Vick – Gale’s younger sibling
19. Fox – female tribute from District 5 (we didn’t think Foxface would go well on the school registrar)
20. Romulus – Cray’s replacement as Head Peacekeeper of District 12
