The Hunger Games characters have some unique names based on many cultures we've lived in today.

What's your favourite character names from THG world? What's their names meaning?

Bonus questions :

If you're a fanfic writer writing about characters who lives in Panem, what's their name gonna be?

If you're a reader, what's a name you read in a THG fanfic that stuck with you?

Thank you, @curiousnonny

If you don't mind, then I would like to talk about the meaning of the names in another direction - the meaning of all these names in the plot.

I like the variety of names in Panem. And for the most part they all sound unusual. I want to emphasize something that seems interesting to me - the contrast of names in the districts and in the Capitol. Such a simple thing as the names of the characters already tells us a lot about the rules of this world, its contrasts and values. It becomes clear that the Capitolians, whose names refer us to prominent figures of antiquity or mythology, and people from the districts, whose names are associated with hard work or nature, they cannot share the same values. This gradation also exists between districts - for one, it is valuable to name their child Gloss, and for another, beauty and wealth is secondary compared to the lack of food, so Katniss was named after the plant - swamp potatoes.
