Peeta Mellark was a character in The Hunger Games franchise. Peeta lived in District 12 and was chosen as tribute to the 74th Hunger Games along with Katniss Everdeen. Peeta's family owned a bakery and he was a talented baker and cake decorator. Peeta had a crush on Katniss and mentioned it during an interview before the games. Haymitch, their mentor, used the idea of young love to help the two survive the games. Following the games, Peeta and Katniss had to keep up the pretense of their relationship to appease President Snow. When Katniss and Haymitch were slected as tribute to the Quarter Quell, Peeta volunteered to go in Haymitch's place. After the games were sabotaged, Peeta was captured by the Capitol and was tortured and brainwashed.
There is no history for the name Peeta. It has been suggested that it is derived from the English word pita, since he came from a family of bakers. Peeta does not appear in the Social Security Administration's name database.
Hello Clare of GeekNames:
ReplyDeleteThere is a history of [30, 40-year] Peeta.
Peter Hatcher - the much-put-upon eldest brother - is nicknamed Peeta by his brother Farley Drexel "Fudge" [now Fudge's full name would be a geek name!].
So there might be a connection between Suzanne Collins and Judy Blume.
What do you think?
Interesting.. That'd very possible.
