** Effie Trinket initially seems like a rare outlier of this trend with her name, but [[FridgeBrilliance it makes perfect sense if you consider it a nickname of 'Euphemia', a female Roman name meaning 'well-spoken' and 'good cheer']], a more appropriately Capitol-styled name that accurately describes her personality and mannerisms.

** In the movie, we never find out the symbolic significance of the mockingjay, nor what the Muttations are made out of (in the book, it [[spoiler:''appeared to be'' dead tributes mixed with wolf.]]) Losing the first person perspective also means we lose Katniss's thoughts and motivations.

** A lesser example within the Districts themselves: Some people are named in conjuction with their District industry, like Cashmere (District 1: Luxury), Lyme (District 2: Masonry), and Wiress (District 3: Technology). While others are given names inspired by the natural world or just ordinary names, like Clove (District 2), Annie (District 4), and Johanna (District 7).

** The books mention Capitol citizens as often undergoing extensive body modifications and dyes that make them look almost inhuman. None of this appears in the film, where Capitol citizens tend to look like normal people in garish costumes and occasionally brightly-colored lipstick and wigs.
