[Opinions] Re: Do you associate these names with the Hunger Games?
Not at all. I'd be sooner to think of the City of Ember series, Willow Rosenberg, and Meadow Soprano.Granted I haven't engaged with Hunger Games content in a decade or more - that's a series that made a big splash ca. 2012 and is now has not faded, but definitely isn't nearly as big as it once was, so it's not something I'm going to think about unless I encounter, like, a Katniss or a Peeta, or maybe a Rue.

Have you not heard of the new book and movie their making? Everyone is talking about it.
Yes, I know they're doing something new, but regardless, it's only a fraction of the attention that it got a decade ago. In 2012, more than 37 million copies of the first three books were sold in the US alone. Nowadays it's still popular, but it's far more niche. Moreover, my point stands: I sincerely doubt most folks immediately assume Suzanne Collins when they hear a surname as common as Collins.
