Hunger Names

I saw The Hunger Games over the weekend. I have to say, I was very satisfied. They did a lot of things visually that I always imagined in the books. Some relationships were simplified and certain scenes from the book cut down or out but in almost every instance, I understood why. Everything I wanted to change was minutia. They also included things that were left out of a first person novel like the war room for the actual Games and the last scene with Seneca Crane was very powerful. My only problem was that one person with me hadn't read the books and asked at the end of the movie "Who's Gale?" Considering how important he is in the following books, no one should really be asking that. On the whole, I thought they did an excellent job.

Since I'm such a fan of the books and the movie thus far only enhances the book, I though I would post 2 links that give you a Hunger Games name. All of the characters have interesting names like natural things in the poorer districts like Katniss or Rue and frivolous names like Glimmer and Marvel from the richer districts.


One site has an algorithm for your name. Mine there is Mine is Leymet G Readivy.


The other site provides a randomly generated name but it also assigns you a district, a Hunger Games, and a cause of death. Each time you refresh the page or exit and return, the information is different. The first time, I was Cashmere Tavistock from District 11; I died when I tripped on a stick and fell on my sword. I've heard you can come out a winner but it requires a lot of refreshing and patience. I'm skeptical.
