I haven’t read the Hunger Games yet, but mark my words: I will! One thing I have thought about though is Peeta’s name. “Oh, Peeta!” I have never heard of anyone named Peeta before. I mean, it’s even an underlined error on Word. Why Peeta? I taste the name in my mouth, as I try to figure out where the name derives. “Pee-tah, Peet-ah… Pita? Pita bread?” My guess is that Peeta was a choice of name in lack of inspiration. Since he’s the son of a baker (it almost sounds like a swear word when I say it like that “You son of a baker!”) his parents probably saw a pita bread laying around and thought “That will do! We shall call him Peeta!”

What a good choice of topic for a Wednesday night discussion, don't you think? Haha!
