Re: I thought they were Shakespeare references. I mean, you have:

Hmm, interesting. I noticed a trend in the names used by the Capitol citizens, but I assumed they were just supposed to be Latin names rather than names from Shakespeare(to make a parallel between the Capitol and the Roman empire, I guess?). Someone else mentioned Seneca, there were also the other stylists, Flavius and Octavia, Plutarch, and even Effie could have been short for Euphemia. Then there was Brutus in Catching Fire, though that was also the name of a character in Julius Caesar.

In the first movie, one of the gamemakers who wasn't in the books was called Lucia, so the filmmakers were aware of the naming trend and stuck to it when they added a minor character.

I think Cato, Brutus, and Enobaria's name could be explained by some of the people in the wealthy/"career" districts trying to copy people from the capitol by using the same style of names. The kids from the less wealthy districts had normal names (or corrupted versions of them, like "Peeta") or nature-inspired names (Katniss, Primrose, Gale, Rue, Thresh).

Or Euthymia or Eudoxia, if you pronounce them like Greeks do--"Efthimia" and "Evdohia." (I have relatives with those names.)

Some of the characters with names that turn up in Shakespeare also have parallels to the bard's plays -- specifically thinking of the brief mention about a tribute named Titus cannibalizing the bodies of his fallen opponents, and the fact that Lavinia-the-Avox, well, had her tongue cut out (though at least she gets to keep her hand in HG?)
