Names like Nym work becouse they sound like actual names. 
Though for a name to be adapted from fannon it probably helps if there is already confusion about different males with the same name.

I always thought it was a terrible  idea for lions to be named in that type of way by fb fans.  I was against Nguvu (still am) as well as names like Ubuso Or Amahle. 
But this Thor & Loki news made me laugh! It is not a good idea in my opinion. Let the reserves and rangers/guides do the naming.

This just causes disagreements & confusion. 

Yeah man! Those names seriously sound so Zoo-ish.

Was that the report where they were seen in the same area or pictures of them all together? I remember the report but not the pictures

Names like Nguvu dont bother me too much. It sounds local.

Thor and lightning are just terrible names. Like we are reading a bad lion fanfic that ran out of lion king names.

Names that "sound" local are just as problematic as the zoo names.

It's always better to just let the rangers/staff name the animals because then the names are actually local and thus authentic.

It makes me laugh too. I’m guessing Thor was a light-maned lion and Loki was a dark-maned lion?
