Hunger Games Katniss And Peeta
Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson reveal nicknames for Katniss and Peeta in 'The Hunger Games.'

When Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Elizabeth Banks sat down in the "Unscripted" hot seat to answer fan questions, who could have predicted how crazy it would get right off the bat? The stars of the hotly-anticipated "Hunger Games" blockbuster immediately addressed our nation's most pressing concern: Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. The days of Bennifer and Brangelina are long gone, but what kind of nickname can we bestow upon pop culture's new preeminent pairing? Patniss? Keeta?

While you try to come up with a catchy-sounding portmanteau, J-Law throws down a not-so-clean nickname for Katniss that's sure to raise a few eyebrows; surviving in the arena requires some rugged survivalist skills, but lack of clean pants is just inhumane.

And don't forget: every day this week, we'll be unveiling more moments from this very special episode of "Unscripted," so stay tuned to Moviefone and get every question under the sun answered by the stars of "The Hunger Games."

Real women pee in the woods! She is awesome:) I wonder what technique she used, since I just learned there are a few, from a funny cartoon on facebook for Roam the Woods.

This is so dumb, why are people trying to give a fictional couple a nickname? Also @konspikuous, read the books before you comment. I'm 25 and I enjoy the books and so do both of my parents. And BTW a Mockingjay is a genetic hybrid created by the government in the book that is used for military purposes.

Has to be two of the worst...horribly juvenile names, ever given to fictional characters.

And whatever the hype about the upcoming release is, is lost on me. Of the 35+ minutes of the film that I've seen...all I wanted to do was change the channel (figure of speech) instead of sit there waiting to see what the fuss is about.

But then, young folk...have no idea what-so-ever what good fiction is. And how can they, the human brain doesn't finish cooking until 23-25 years of age.

And don't think for a minute that the entertainment industry isn't aware of that. Hence, one heap of awful story telling and music after another.

By the way...just how many works did Collins rip off while constructing the trilogy? Oh and, speaking of horrible names...Mockingjay??? lol...surely that's a sign of a copy and paste mash up artist!

Sounds like you need a new hobby besides trolling.

You are so smart, you don't even have to read the books to critique them.

How many different posts did you rip off while constructing your rant? Nothing you say there is original.

And check your username kid. It ain't so hot. I prefer the play on words of Katniss being a hunter, and a type of root, and Peeta being a version of Peter and pete, the salt of the earth and the rock that you build on. The names in the novel were all carefully considered by the author and both make sense and give depth to a very good story.

Depth?

lol...I'm certain the plot peters out well before the movie ends.

No worries though fanboy...I've no doubt my lack of a turgid peter is going to prevent yours from gushing all about the place when you see the film.
