That’s right, peeps! No longer shall you have to suffer the slings and arrows of having a normal name, found in the typical Baby Names books! Nor will your offspring have to suffer in ironic sameness with all the other Mackenzies, Ashleighs, Ariannas, Isabelles, Madisons, Aidans, Jacksons and Jaydens in the Tumble Tots play center. FYA is here to save you!
The rules are simple! Just write down your answer for each of the questions, and then combine them in the end.
Be sure to post your Hunger Games name so that we know how to eulogize you during our Mass Funeral for Tributes!!
1) Write down the second syllable of your middle name.
- If you do not have a middle name – what is wrong with you? How did you know when your parents were mad at you? Anyway, you should use the second syllable of your first name.
- If your middle name is only one syllable, you may use the second syllable of your last name.
- If none of your names have more than one syllable, your parents obviously read the children’s book Tikki-Tikki-Tembo, and you may use any syllable you like from Tikki-Tikki-Tembo-No-Sa-Rembo-Chari-Bari-Ruchi-Pip-Peri-Pembo’s name.
2) Write down the name of a plant.
3) If you are a female above the age of 30, write down the word “less.” If you are a female under the age of 30, write down the word “met.” If you are a man of any age, A) welcome! and B) write down the word “petra.”
4) Write down the first initial of the last name of your favorite English teacher from school.
5) Write down one simple action verb (i.e. “run,” “jump,” etc)
Now, get your results!!
Combine the answer from #1 with the answer from #3. That is your first name.
Your middle initial is the answer to #4.
Your last name is your answer to #5 with your answer to #2 added to the end.
My Hunger Games name is . . .{drumroll, please} . . . Lizmet W. Skiptulip!

I’m Niseless R. Huntlily. Genius, Ms. Skiptulip!
Cherpetra T. Eativy. Blah.
erin, YOU ARE A MASTERMIND. seriously, i’m pretty sure this is the EXACT formula employed by ms. collins.
mine is… Lizless W. Hitivy! dude, i am totally gonna die in the first ten seconds of a game.
p.s. brian, i think you are too. sorry but that name screams… dead tribute.
Niemet C. Hugrose
That was fun! I wish my real last name was Hugrose…that’s cute.
Not sure how I feel about this:
Vanless I. Singmarigold
That last name looks very international and exotic, though.
SO AWESOME. I love you, Lizmet W. Skiptulip.
I am…Dersmet M. Mimosaswim! Hey, mimosa’s a plant. It also happens to be a delicious cocktail, but never you mind.
I can’t get over the first names…EVERY SINGLE ONE is so Hunger Gamesy!
Kimet I like. S. Singpine… not so much.
Oh whoops. I’m Dersmet M. Swimmimosa, actually. lolz. That’s better for some reason.
lizmet t. flybasil! i think it’s funny how many of us have the same middle name. like every other girl born between 1976 and 1984 is something elizabeth.
erin, you’re absolutely a genius.
Mine’s Rieless H. Kickcelosia.
Also, I wasn’t sure how to answer #3, since I’m 30, so I’m neither over 30 or under it.
Tefmet W. Sleepdahlia .. uh, i’m so gonna die with lizless and cherpetra
Nekmet D. Sitaloe
pretty alright, i think.
Hophibiscus?
This name ensures a target on my head and that I’ll be among the first few dead…yeah and it makes me want to rhyme.
Mermet B. Hoprose. Hmm. I sound like a mermaid crossed with a marmoset. I’m totally dying in the first five minutes, aren’t I?
you know everyone’s gonna have to wear a tribute nametag at our mockingjay party, right? right.
i am loving these last names. SWIMMIMOSA! SITALOE! HUGROSE!
by the end of the day, i bet we’ll have enough name to start our own HG Baby Name Book and thereby gain the everlasting hatred of future ill-named generations!
haha my name is
Anpetra S. Flyweed … LOVE IT xD
Chelleless E. Swimlavender
My first name reminds me of the wonderful Lady Chablis.
Genuis, Erin!
And to be a total suck up, Cherpetra, I read Playing with Matches over the weekend.
You guys, I have just had a horrible day at work (i.e. meetings during both BREAKFAST time and LUNCH time which means I haven’t had any food since last night at 6 pm, which in turn means I am super-cranky) and coming back to see all these AMAZING names totally made me smile! So thank you, Tributes!!
(p.s. is anyone else playing a game where they try to figure out people’s middle or last names based on the first syllable of their Tribute name? Just me? Okay.)
(p.p.s. Keep an eye out for something REALLY AWESOME featuring Cherpetra very soon!)
and P.P.P.S. HEY TRIBUTES! don’t forget about our open call for submissions for the hunger games “yr argument is invalid” contest:
http://www.foreveryoungadult.com/2010/03/03/call-for-submissions-your-argument-is-invalid/
oh man i’ve gotten a few good ones already. ONE OF THEM INVOLVES CINNA.
Oh wow. Uless G. Crycilantro am I.
Mine is Annemet A. Lookivy. I’m dying to find out what my middle initial stands for.
Permet R. Skipdelphinium.
That last name doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, eh?
Lianmet B. Divegrass… sweet
Whoa. Best thing possible to do at 4 pm on Friday. I love this post!!
Love,
Etteless K. Diecallalily
This is so much fun! I’m totally trying to figure out what people’s middle or last names are based on their first syllables. And this is the third time I’ve checked back today to see what other wonderful names have been added.
I’m coming around to my name (Vanless I. Singmarigold). I’m thinking Vanless might actually make it past the first hour of the Games by laying low and being inconspicuous. Mysterious and inscrutable.
I’m Anmet R. HopLavender. This was so much fun! Thanks.
Chellemet N. Ridealoe. I like it! This is genius.
Hilarious!
Ryless F. Frolicdaisy
Mine is quite strange indeed, but whatevs:
Tonmet M. Flyagave
Yes. I wrote down “agave”. I don’t know why that managed to be the first plant to pop into my head, but you know.
agave is a perfectly respectable choice!
riemet s. catchdaisy! if i were really a real h.g. character (you know, not like how i’m a character in my head) i’d be a goner.
Rieless G. Sitmums or full name Sitchrysanthemum. My hubby and son brought me flowers today and they were mums so they were all I could think of.
Riemet D Peonyspit has a nice ring to it, I think.
Though it too screams DEAD TRIBUTE.
Hmm… I might make it past the Cornucopia bloodbath but I’m thinking a career will spear me from behind with this one:
Nayless W Hikechloe
Sarah– I’m going to be in Houston towards the end of August, not leaving for Kuwait until the 2nd of Sept… so when is this mockingjay party?
Mine’s Ellemet M. Flyrose
mine was originally nanmet m. dancerose but I thought to myself dancerose vs. everdeen? and quickly changed my proud name to Nanmet M. Lugrose. Sigh….
Ezmet H. Loverose
My first name sounds like a guy’s name rather than a girl’s… ):
Wouaah! Superb! I loved doing but I got a first name that two people have already, never mind ^ ^ Let me introduce myself, I am Chelemet F. Kisslys. Yes, I have only one l in my middle name (Michèle)
Erin you have such good ideas … Splendid! I think I am not the only one to think it
Enjoy!
That’s kinda fun!
Lizless J. Wavefern!
How many Elizabeths are here? Eesh. Apparently I’m the old one!
Just found this site and loving it, especially the Gale v. Peeta debates. My Hunger Games name is Timet H. Jogbasil.
welcome, ms. jogbasil! there’s still one round left in the debates, so stay tuned (and obvs we hope you’ll stick around after that! even though all other topics pretty much pale in comparison to gale vs peeta, sigh).
Hi, they call me Oakmet S. Listenlily
No unmarked grave for me
That’s right. Nigmet!
How did you come up with this?? You’re a genius. And I’m RAMET D. FLYMOSS.
I just discovered your blog, and am enjoying the hell out of it.
So late on this one, but fun!
Nettmet M Springfern
Ahahah …. Nettmet
Enmet S. Swimbasil
Very cool!
This was awesome!
I got Limet H. Singlily!
