A Guide to Making a Hunger Games Character

As Good as Any Potato

Ahem. Hi. Hello. Hello.

It's the Librarian here, fresh from the Whoniverse. The Doctor picked up some bad Hunger Games characters on his Timey-Wimey detector (don't ask, it's wibbly-wobbly) so he shoved me into this universe to help sort them out. It hurt a bit, mind you. Felt a bit cramped, kinda like I was being pulled and stretched and squashed all at the same time. Then there was this weird jolt - and the Doctor kicked me out of the TARDIS.
But anyway! Here I am.
So I'm looking at your character, and tsk tsk. You need a name, fast. Sweetmeat Applepie Honey Melon Dewdrop won't cut it, even if she's from somewhere as out of it as District One. So let's start there, then.

District 1
Ah! District One! This is where all the luxury items are produced. It's the wealthiest of the districts, and prides itself on having many victors. Naturally, being full of money, the names of their children are going to reflect that. Of course, this means that oftentimes you'll find something along the lines of Toffee Chickenwing Buttersc- nope. Never mind.
Canon names: Augustus, Cashmere, Facet, Glimmer, Gloss, Marvel, Velvereen
Looking at these, we can see that the names from District One are going to be luxury items, rich-sounding adjectives, or Greek or Roman names. Think along the lines of precious gems or feminine products (just don't go for Tampax. Just imagine the jokes if your character gets an axe to the face!)
Overused names: Diamond, Shimmer, Silk
Examples you can use: Lace, Pearl, Garnet, Atalanta, Blaze, Rouge, Antoinette/Antoine, Platinum, Blade, Brilliance, Valour, Apollo, Beau, Iasus, Blanche, Sterling

District 2
District Two is the main producer of masonry for Panem. It produces its fair shares of Career tributes and victors, and its tributes tend to be far fiercer. Steer towards more Roman names for this one, or names that reflect building materials. Even go for the occasional natural name. Try and make their names similar to those of the Capitol (as they're the Capitol's lapdogs) but more like ones you'd hear for a fighter. If that makes sense. Which it doesn't. But whatever.
Canon names: Brutus, Cato, Clove, Cray, Darius, Enobaria, Lyme, Marcus, Purnia, Romulus, Sabyn, Sejanus
I've yet to see many characters from District Two, despite it playing such a huge part in the rebellion. So don't worry about getting an overused name. Just don't go for Clover, because duh. You'll get your head smashed in with a rock for copying Clove.
Examples you can use: Nolan, Remus (I cri everytiem), Jason, Victor, Mason, Odius, Titus, Titan, Blade, Alexis, Lupin (ffffff), Dagger, Copper, Juniper, Artemis, Albus, Augustus, Caelia, Claudia, Riddick, Ply, Slate, Flint, Serena, Smith

District 3
You can thank District Three for all of your technology, from the television in your house to the camera that the Capitol is using to stal- I mean, to make sure thieves are caught. Here, go for futuristic names, but try and make it subtle. Don't call your character Samsung or Cellphone. That's just stupid.
Canon names: Beetee, Circ, Teslee, Wiress
Examples you can use: Fleck, Flash, Tallie, Chip, Cable, Wyre, Eleria, Dot, Pixel, Aurora, Link, Bolt, Mac, Render, Dell, Binary, Consol

District 4
No, that's not the smell of fish and chips. Welcome to District Four, the fishing district! This is the last district to train career tributes, and as such their people are often strong. These names can be fairly normal, so don't worry about being too flash. Water-themed names are good, and so are the names from water-based mythology. Try and steer away from gods and goddesses, though. You won't see any self-respecting person walking down the street who's called Poseidon. Unless he is, of course, Poseidon.
Canon names: Annie, Coral, Finnick, Mags (possibly short for Margaret or Magdalene), Mizzen
Examples you can use: Ariel, Nemo, Una, Muriel, Adrian, Caspian, Coral (but please be careful of this, it's a little overused), Wade, River, Amelia, Cress, Brook, Pier, Hook, Cliff, Morgan/Morgyn/some variation thereupon, Sebastian, Lynn, Pearl, Cordelia, Tyne, Finn
