babynamesI saw this article yesterday and immediately thought of you guys. Apologies if it's been posted previously; I scanned the comm and couldn't find it.
From the article:
Rue – Credit The Hunger Games, which has turned the spotlight on a range of exotic botanical names for girls, from the heroine’s name Katniss to gentle Primrose to Posy and Clove. But the hottest choice for babies, according to the Nameberry statistics, is sleek, simple, if somewhat mournful Rue, the name of the agile young girl who meets a tragic end in the series. In real life, however, we see Rue as having a bright future.
Cato – Cato might be a villain in The Hunger Games, but the popular series turned attention on a name that fits into a couple of other hot trends. It’s an ancient Roman name that, like brothers Atticus and Cassius, is being resurrected by modern parents. It’s got the stylish O ending. And it kind of sounds like Kate, a name in the spotlight thanks to the new future Queen of England.
I've got to say that Cato seems like an odd name trend to get from THGs, much though I love the character. I also must admit that Rue and Primrose are growing on me, although they will remain firmly in guilty pleasure land. It got me thinking about Hunger Games names and what you all might think of them, so I thought I'd ask. Any that jump out to you? WDYT of the article's picks?
At least it's not Marvel and Glimmer?
