Annie Named Him Fisher - Tumblr Posts

There’s nothing I hate more than the headcannon that Annie names the baby after Finnick or Mags, because she just wouldn’t ?? Her son, in my opinion, was symbolism of Annie being able to pick up the pieces and keep going in life even without the love of her life. Just why would she name her son after what she’s supposed to be moving on from ? Sure, she loves Finnick, but that just seems totally out of character (even if we don’t know her that well), and I know that Finnick would hate it too. He didn’t even like being Finnick Odair himself, why would he pass on that name to his child ? Anyways, just like how Peeta is a symbol of hope and rebirth for Katniss, Annie’s son is a symbol of growth and a new beginning, a flower grown in the crack of a wall, her safety net after falling for so long. I also think Katniss would have lots of respect for Annie after the war, for continuing to go on for her son despite her ongoing depression and grief. After all, she’s known neglect and abandonment when her mother was in her grief period. But then there was Annie, who picked herself up every day and looked at her son and smiled, even if it was killing her, who went on because that’s not only what Finnick wanted, but what she wanted for herself.
