[Opinions] Re: Do you associate these names with the Hunger Games?
I read Hunger Games last year and I do not remember Ember, Willow, Meadow. What I associate with: Ember - colour / rock amber. It is ok name.
Willow - I think that this is just me, but willow in my language is верба (verba), and that also rocket launcher.
Meadow - this is word, not name. It is not even good word name.
Collins - surname.

I've never read the books or watched the movie... movies? I just happen to know the main characters' names, and I can see where the association comes from. Those names fit the author's naming style. I do like those names on their own merit, within a cultural context, specifically American. I personally wouldn't use them.
