He nods at her explanation of the name Katniss and shrugs. "Got no good excuse for my name." Which is true. He knows in Greek it means Strong Man, which is true enough for him. But he also knows that neither one of his parents are that insightful. His dad was probably drunk and decided it would be funny. But Alcide doesn't seem too bothered by it in any case. In fact, he smirks after the admittance because really, it is kind of funny to him.
As far as Katniss's relation to Derek and Buffy, Alcide nods. "Yeah, they're both good people, far as I can tell."
To be truthful, Alcide hasn't been here long enough to make a full assessment to that fact. But he is closest to Derek and Buffy than he is to anyone else aside from Zee. They haven't done anything to prove otherwise to him yet. He has to hold that to be true going into the future with them.
He gestures a hand in the general direction of the goings on around the room. "So what do you think of all this? You havin' fun yet, Katniss?" He's unsure that she has, given the seriousness of her expression when he'd first noticed her. "Anyone asked you to dance yet?"
