Did Suzanne Collins come up with names for the tributes from districts 3-10 in first book?

Suzanne Collins did not provide the names for the tributes from Districts 3-10 in the first book, *The Hunger Games*. She only named the main characters: Katniss, Peeta, Gale, Prim, and Haymitch.

The names of the other tributes were left unspecified in the book, likely to focus the reader's attention on the main characters and the larger themes of the story. This also allowed readers to imagine and personalize the other tributes themselves.

However, names for the tributes from Districts 3-10 were later revealed in subsequent books and other materials, such as the *Hunger Games* prequel, *The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes*.
