To all of those who have or haven't read the Hunger Games, there's a character named Peeta Mellark. There's also a type of bread called pita, which I think is pronounced the same way. This Peeta character's parents are bakers. IRONIC? Yes. Hotel? Trivago.

That would depend on your accent.

Pita is usually pronounced with a soft "t", making it sound more like a "d".

The name "Peeta" would, probably due to its familiarity with "Peter", be pronounced with a hard "t".

 

The first vowel sound in "Peeta" (at least like it's pronounced in the movies) is ø quite a bit longer than the first vowel sound in "pita".
