Admiral David Glasgow Farragut (July 5, 1801 - August 14, 1870) was the first senior officer of the U.S. Navy during the American Civil War. His fleet captured New Orleans on April 29, 1862.
He is remembered in popular culture for his possibly apocryphal order at the Battle of Mobile Bay, usually paraphrased: "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!".

Yes, it is just a coincidence. In the story of The Hunger Games, the assignment of stylists to districts is random, so it was chance that the red-headed Avox girl was assigned to serve the District 12 tributes, the district closest to where she was captured. It adds an interesting layer to the narrative but is not a deliberate connection.
