ArchivesRe: Katniss
in reply to a message by Cyndi
No, the character Katniss states in the book that she was named after the plant, as I wrote below. But I agree that the Kat- part makes this unknown plant seem more natural as a name to readers.
Slightly O/T, but a related thing I noticed is that many of the "good" characters were either named after plants -- Katniss, Primrose, Rue -- or had names that sounded vaguely nature-y -- Gale, Cinna, Haymitch.
(I've only read the first book and loved it. Am curious to see how the names develop in books 2 and 3!)
