It’s time for the eternal question to be answered. It’s been talked about on fan sites, on twitter, tumblr, etc. and now it’s time for us to let our voices be heard. What will The Hunger Games Fandom be called?
The Twilight fans are referred to as Twihards and Twifans, while Harry Potter fans are dubbed HP Nerds, Potterphiles, Potterfans, etc. Many of these names came to be naturally, others were thrust upon them by the media. Well, now it’s our turn apparently.
Ted, from EOnline’s the Awful Truth took it upon himself in an article today to name our fandom, Jabberjays. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m not to fond of the name Jabberjays, I don’t want to be referred to as an instrument of the Capitol, but beyond that, I’m not to keen on the media as having the final say in what our fandom is called.
Therefore today we start a revolution!
Various sites from around The Hunger Games fandom are going to be asking fans their thoughts on what our fandom should be named. We are then going to pool all that information together and design a poll for fans to vote on their favorite name choice. Once the poll closes we plan on announcing the fandom formally to the media and to Lionsgate.
Now, we know that not everyone will be happy with the final name chosen, that is inevitable. We are pretty sure like other fandoms we will be known by several names, but this will give us the opportunity to speak out and not have something chosen for us.
So, please put on your thinking caps and post below in the comments any and all ideas you have for names for the fandom.
Let the Revolution begin!

What about just Tributes? Because we essentially take part in the Hunger Games and the fight against the Capitol as we follow Katniss through her journey. As “Tributes” we could split into different groups e.g. Team Katniss; just like we do now without a fan name.
It was either that or “Fans on Fire”… Just refer to us all as one huge group.

I posted this in another place so I’ll just repost it here!
I vote for “fans”. As a fan, I have no desire to have the stigma of a nickname. The books are superior. The films are anchored by Academy Award caliber actors and director. We need to rise above. If THG fans are viewed as obsessive as Twilight fans, I’ll just keep my interest to myself which would be a bummer.

Michelle your point is very valid, and it goes along with Adam’s proposal as well.
The main reason we are doing this is so the media does not choose for us. We may find a lot of people agree with you. But the idea is to let fans speak out, and not be dubbed something we are not by the media.
Thank you and everyone else for your opinions so far.
Michelle
on said:
I understand what you are saying.
I just think it’s a huge mistake for THG fans to align themselves with any sort of nickname. That will just add to the comparisons to Twilight and the franchise will become a punchline.
As for the media, they’re going to write whatever they want.

Tributes! It makes perfect sense. Mockingjay belongs to Katniss, Rockingjays is so cheesy, and jabberjays doesn’t make sense. We are tributes, we are poeple from around the world involved in the Hunger Games ( not literally but referring to the book) it just makes sense, isn’t cheesy! I’m a tribute:) may the odds be ever in my favor.

It´d sound funny when in a tv show or something someone says “the tributes can´t wait for the game” (or sth like that)

Panemaniacs or Mockingjays would both be good because it shows our love to the world Suzanne Collins has created (Panemaniacs) and the need for peace and prosperity (Mockingjays)
Being called a Tribute would be too disturbing because it acknowledges The Games in a glorified fashion that is completely contradictory to everything the books symbolize.

Besides, “Tribute” is what Capitol pawn pieces are called…
ANYTHING but Tribute, please!

Considering the ridiculous amount of symbolism in the books (meant as a complement), I think we deserve a name a bit more creative than Tributes.

Shylah here with my contribution! I’ve seen a lot of people say Tributes– what about Tributaries (which are small streams that feed into a larger river).
I like the symbolism of all of us as individual Tributaries coming together to form something bigger than ourselves.

Like Ryan, I first thought tributes, but, also like Ryan, I totally disagree with the name now. Mockingjays could be good, but Katniss was, is, and will always be the first, best, and last Mockingjay. (Personally, I don’t think most actresses could do her justice. I don’t know anything about Jennifer, but… I’ll keep my fingers crossed.) Perhaps a variation on Notorious’s Katters?
In Harry Potter (shut up, everything comes back to Harry Potter in the end), the director (or producer or something, I don’t actually remember) said that they had to remember that it was Harry’s story, that they were portraying Harry’s story. But they got it wrong! (This has a HG point, just keep reading.) It was more than just Harry’s, it was the story of, literally, a whole world, a Wizarding World, fighting a dark wizard. So, truly, fans don’t usually think of themselves as Potter-heads, because the books are not Harry’s, screw the title. They are a legacy.
HP is better, of course, but that’s HG’s story, too, isn’t it? It’s not just Kat’s story. It’s the story of a rebellion against a very dark, twisted government. We should be something that envelopes the whole idea, not just something that represents the first or last book. I’m not creative, so very unfortunately I can’t think of something, but darn it all to Tarturus if I’ll be a pawn in the Capitol’s game (Tribute) or a knock-off of a teenage gladiator (Mockingjay).
I don’t know… perhaps Dandelions? Like, in the first book, how dandelions symbolized hope for Katniss? In war, isn’t hope really the only thing that keeps a soldier fighting? I guess outsiders wouldn’t instantly think, “Dandelions? Oh – Hunger Games, obviously. Only a dunderhead would miss the obvious connection.”, and the inside joke of it would get old quickly, but… That’s my contribution. This super, super, super, super long post, and the name Dandelion.

OK, what if we are called simply “Rebels”, because the revolution is practically at the center of the trilogy? It incites people to change, rebel, rise, fight against old and unjust practices, against a totalitarian ruthless regime, and start a new world. Suzanne practically shows us the nasty things that happen into our world and states that if we would be united, if we would rebel, we could change the world for the best. We couldn’t be “Panemanians”, because we want a better world and we shouldn’t be “tributes”, because we are not arbitrarily picked, we volunteer to love this book on our own. OK, or we could simply stay “THG fans”…what’s wrong with that?

I woudn’t say “mockingjays” because the name’s already taken by Katniss; she’s the only one that can be the Mockingjay. I agree with the people saying that “tributes” glorifies the games – the same with “victors”. And not “rebels” either because it’s a normal word and doesn’t refer specifically to the Hunger Games.
I like composed words, like “firejays” (suggested by Melani on hunger-games.net) and “rockingjays” (but this one already refers to the HG-fans musicians). Or words relating to the HG fandom in general: Hunger Gamers (not just “Gamers”). I love “Fans on Fire”! and “hungerjays”. “Panemites” or “panemaniacs” are also great, but non-HG fans might not get it.

I think something to do with fire or sparks would be appropriate because it symbolizes not only the rebellion but also how the Capitol forced Katniss into choosing a certain personality to portray for herself going into the games(to get sponsers) and how Cinna was able to create something unexpected that really sparked the rebellion. It should also set us apart from other series because it’s so different and shouldn’t be compared to things like Tw*l*ght.

Gamers are the best, but it sort of sounds like we’re addicted to gaming, like on the Xbox or something. So I like tributes… but do you really think people are goning to understand it when we’re like – “Yeah I’m a die hard tribute!” – They’ll be really confused. “Twihards” actually had some part of the name of the movie in it sooo it made a little more sense. But with this title it’s sort of hard to choose. I say Gamers, or Peetaphiles.. lol(: … but someone suggested Hungarians .. ?! Thats referring to another country!

I like the idea of rebels. It’s better than anything referring to Panem or the Games or the Capitol (no, I do NOT want to be a jabberjay!), instead focusing on the importance of standing up to human rights and oppression. Also, I like to think of it as us as a fanbase rebelling against some YA fiction that gives people the wrong idea about what kind of people everyone who reads YA fiction is. It’s also a broader term than mockingjays, for example, which allows sub-fandoms to be formed.
However, I think we need to give “rebels” a bit of a make-over to make it sound spiffier. So I suggest “the Rebellion.” It turns us into a united front, a collective, where you can say “I’m part of the Rebellion” rather than “I’m a rebel,” which to my mind at least also has a more negative ring to it. And if you want to refer to yourself as an individual, you’d still be able to do that with the aforementioned sub-fandoms.

They are original and do not refer to the Capitol as if we were just Capitol people, but it doesn’t just talk about one of the rebels, it talks about the whole rebellion, they’re symbols of the rebellion which is the center of the books! So I think that’s a fantastic idea

I’m against “Tributes”. Okay, it sounds nice, and it’s cool, but to me it makes me feel like I’m a real fanatic about HG. “I’m a Tribute”, means that I’m completely devoted to HG, like I’m the victim. Also, are not they the show? In fact, do we really want to be associated to “victims” and “freaks”? Not me.
About “Mockingjays”, sounds also very nice. Harmonious. But I’m French, you see, and I’m very afraid about the French translation of this nickname! XD (If it will be traducted).
To me, “Sponsors” is not the perfection, but the best proposition we made for the moment. Maybe I’m to serious in my ideas, but it could be a tactful way to remember the film staff that if HG has this success it’s obviously because we, fans, are here! Without us, they are nothing. To be less serious, I find this name very ammusing though!

I was wondering the exact same thing: should we translate our “name” in French? I guess we should, since everyone doesn’t know the English words but still, Mockingjay sounds better in its original version.
“Sponsors” seems like a good idea for me, too (plus it wouldn’t be a problem to translate).
When I think about it, HG fans doesn’t seem so complicated to write/say :p

Of the, ‘jays’ ones, why would EOnline choose jabberjays instead of mockingjays? Mockingjays just seems like the more obvious choice to me. And jabberjay almost seems like an insult; I don’t want to think I ‘jabber’ on about THG… I don’t know, I’ve just never heard of jabbering as a good thing. I guess people can interpret it however they want, but I don’t think I like it. I’m not too keen on being a capitol creation either. Meh.
Mockingjays are better symbols in the books, and firejays is a nice compound that encompasses many of the books’ themes. (Plus firejays just sounds cool haha.) I vote for one of those.

I think 70% are for tributes,
why not just settle on it now?
sooner we agree on something so sooner the media will pick it up and won´t give us a stupid name.
Tributes, its easy to remember, the media can´t make fun out of it, you can make witty word games (like the tributes are exicted for the hunger games).
in the end the media is just as manipulative as the Capitol, in someway they are always playing with us. we are tributes of the media industry.
also in some ways we were in the arena with Katniss, we cried, feared and fought with her.
I personally like Mockingjay but I feel like that title is only for one person. Katniss is the leader and leaders have a higher ranked name.

To call us Gamers or Hungry Gamers is too obvious. Anybody who hasn’t read the books can still understand it.
To call us Mockingjays is also something that non-fans can understand also as it’s the name of one of the books. It’d be like calling us “CatchingFires”. Plus, there’s only one Mockingjay.
Jabberjays are evil.
Rebels is a cool name but it is a real word. When we’re all in line for the movie it’ll be weird when they say “thousands of rebels lined up today” because it sounds like we’re going to have an organized riot! Because it’s a regularly used, normal word it could be easily confusing in a sentence.
Tributes sounds nice, is simple, and has a detectable meaning. However, you have to know something about the books to get it! After all, we’re Tributes alongside Katniss!

I agree that we should not be dubbed like Twilight fans were, but if you are you are right? Well, at this point we’re even being pushed off the cliff or jumping, might as well chose the latter.
Yes, we do want to be recognized when our name is said, but you don’t want it to sound like all of the other fandoms now do we?
Here’s a list of names that could be taken from the Hunger Games itself:
Rebels, tributes, game makers, Mockingjays, Panemians, The Hungry, Hobs, Seams, HG fans (obviously), Team 12, the District citizens, or MUTTS.
Yes, not all would be recognized, but it’s hard to do what the Twihards did, ours is two words, not one. With that cleared up, all in all we’re HG fans, some less than others.

Yes, we do want to be recognized when our name is said, but you don’t want it to sound like all of the other fandoms now do we?
Here’s a list of names that could be taken from the Hunger Games itself:
Rebels, tributes, game makers, Mockingjays, Panemians, The Hungry, Hobs, Seams, HG fans (obviously), Team 12, the District citizens, or MUTTS.
Yes, not all would be recognized, but it’s hard to do what the Twihards did, ours is two words, not one. With that cleared up, all in all we’re HG fans, some less than others.

JABBERJAYS: I always referred to the fandom as this. But somebody made a good point: jabberjays are instruments of the Capitol.
MOCKINGJAYS: No. This is strictly reserved for Katniss.
TRIBUTES: Think through this people. I mean, in all the games (with the exception of the 74th, with 2 victors, and the 2nd Quarter Quell, where no one won) only one tribute lived. So, what, one of us reigns over all, or, oh, I’m sorry, 73 of us? Tributes=BAD NAME!!!
I like Panemians, and Hungerians (gosh, now I’m sorta hungry. Go figure).
omg, i JUST REALIZED SOMETHING! Katniss is “The Girl on FIRE” and she ultimately defeats President “SNOW” Hm. Wonder if that was on purpose.

Fans On Fire
District 14
and Dandelions (my own).
I don’t understand Nightlock. Why would we want to be a poison? Moreover, one that was mainly used for representing suicide, if I”m not mistaken?

It’s not about finding a “cool” sounding name, I think it should be what most fans prefer.
From what I’ve seen, Tributes is favored.
Hunger Games follows the story of Tributes. The story is about them, and we walk with them. Some people believe it is too negative a connotation, but I don’t think so. Tributes are THE CORE of the Hunger Games. Although sad and unfortunate, we are always rooting for them. Which is why I think Hunger Games fans should be called Tributes.
fuckyeahdistrict12.tumblr also did a poll with 111 responses and I found that most people wanted Tributes, and the second most favored was Mockingjays. I think it should be either or, since they seem to be the most popular.
Gamers is a DEFINITE NO. There’s already a group that calls themselves Gamers!
Rebels should be a NO as well. It’s just not specific enough. Plus I think of Star Wars when I hear it.
Whether it is Tributes, Mockingjays, or another name, I just hope that it ends up being what the majority of us want.

How about The Viewers? You know, like the viewers of the games. Not very specific, sadly. Maybe MUTTS FFC:
Mockingjays Under The Treasonable Snow
Fighting For Control
Or you could just do MUTTS. I like Panemians (from the other anonymous, I’m not that person, notice the different spelling) or maybe The Lost Empire. Wait, is that a movie?…

The problem with the ones that play on the word Panem is that the country is pronounced with the syllable break like this: Pa•nem, rather than Pan•em (which I called for two years until I heard Suzanne Collins pronounce it Pa•nem! Oops!). So would you pronounce it Fa•dem? Or Pa•nem•an•i•ac? When pronounced correctly, those don’t make sense.
The only one that still does, though, is Pa•nem•ians, which has a nice ring to it.

Keep it simple & include the title: Hunger Fans or Hunger Games Fans (abbreviate it “HG Fans” in print). I like (love) the Rockingjays for the fan music, so having another “-jay” ending for the fans might seem overkill. And while I like the tributes, rebels, sponsors, etc., I agree that it really should have part of the title in it to be recognizable. Just my 2¢.

I vote for just ‘fans’. There are no other way to call us fans by some other names without sounding ridiculous. Others who are not familiar with the trilogy won’t understand most of the nicknames suggested and I certainly do not want to be misunderstood as someone as obsessive as the Twihards.
The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay are too ingeniously written to deserve being lowered down to the level of Twilight.

Mockingjays- There is only one true Mockingjay.
Tributes- We are not Tributes, we don’t truly know what it’s like to be in the Arena.
12ers/13ers- I think it’s a little silly and not very original.

12ers/13ers- I think it’s a little silly and not very original.
I do however think something about Bread or something like that. And as for the “Peetaphiles” That might raise some questions

This might sound strange, but I really love ‘rebels’. I think there’s something about it which has a cool ring to it. I think ‘tributes’ is okay, but I think it’s referring too much of what goes on in the arena. ‘Sponsors’ is quite good. I don’t know.

Mockingjays!!!!!!!!! The Mockingjay is the sign of the rebellion! It is perfect for the Hunger Game lovers because I am pretty sure that if you love the hunger games you’re a rebel at heart.

How about the “FireJays”? Fire represents Katniss and everything she stood for. Jay represents the rebels, being against the Capitol, and how the tributes can become more than “a piece in the games” (- Peeta <3 ). Jays are the symbol of rebellion and the fight against the Capitol. Mockingjays made Panem a rebel's world, and almost saved dear Rue. Mocking jays made Katniss who she was, is, and always will be.

I reckon Tributes is great and I know lots of people on this site and others agree with me and say that Tributes would be great because we are all a part of the Hunger Games (book not event). We were reaped with Prim, volunteered with Katniss. Fell in love with Peeta, and defeated the Capitol and won the 74th Annual Hunger Games with Katniss. We followed Katniss on her journey as a girl from the Seam, to a Tribute in the twisted Capitol entertainment, to a victor of the Hunger Games with Peeta. TRIBUTES FOR THE WIN

I don’t think it should be tributes, mockingjays, or jabberjays etc. It needs to be a mix of words like how HP fans don’t themselves “wizards” or “muggles” but something like “potterheads” Or how twilight fans call themselves “twihards” instead of “vampires” Be creative people! We all know Hunger Games is the best, therefore we need to have the best fan name! I personally like ForEverdeens, but I think someone could come up with something better
