Pronunciation question for those who've read Hunger Games
When you read the book, how did you pronounce Peeta?
Was it just the same as Peter, or slightly different?I'm asking because in a few fanfiction stories I've seen him called Peter "Peeta" Mellark, or he says something like "My name's Peter, but everyone calls me Peeta" or "My brother couldn't pronounce Peter, so they called me Peeta and it stuck".
This makes no sense to me, as I pronounce Peeta and Peter identically.On a related note, what do you think of Finnick as a name? Would you prefer it as a full name, or as an at-home diminutive for Finn or Finlay.**Emma**
