It's still a terrible name. Call your kid Heather, Rose or Violet if it's got to be a plant!
There's a special meaning to it, go read the book! ;) (FYI the sister is called Primrose)

I've got to say, I think Katniss is a terrible name - reminds me of catnip.
Funny you should say.
Catnip is Gale's nickname for her.

Well, you suggested Rose and she can't be called that (for which reason I can't say, you have to read the book! :p)

Looking at pictures on Twitter, it looks very busy at the O2 already! So envious of those of you on the board going - have a blast! I hope the film lives up to the fantastic novel.

Embargo? On a premiere? You gotta be kidding me! Well done for avoiding it, LOL, why would they call you, do they know which ticket goes with which name or what? How utterly strange. Did they really make all the screaming fans sign embargoes too? What rot.

Yes EVERYONE is meant to sign the embargo at the premiere. I suppose they've sent out a death squad to trek down those fmukers. :D

Yeah but you usually sign these things at press screenings where there are a few hundred people at most. Signing at a huge premiere is utterly stupid. I mean, really. What's so secret about it, or is that just another marketing ploy?
