The main character in HG is Katniss. Named after the plant.
And my 'actually' is about your observation. Did you know that Hunger Games has already beat out Twilight for named-after babies. In that, more people are naming their kids after Hunger Games characters than people did after Twilight's characters. I found that interesting.
As a side note: The name Katniss always sounded like cat piss to me. Until I read the books. The character (in the first novel) is pretty awesome. Made me warm up to the name. Would never, ever, ever use it though!
