There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Sounds a lot like Crom, and while not an African name to my knowledge, not even sure if it is related to any real language, but that would be an excellent name for a beastly male lion, might fit the unnamed PCM really well, actually, especially if he continues to win out mating battles.
Poor guy needs a name lol, his more impressive brother is ‘Makhunga’ then all he gets is smaller male, smaller maned male etc. Although recently it seems he has the upper hand when it comes to dominance specifically when lionesses are around. I’m sure I saw somewhere one of the guides refer to him as ‘Mapimpi’ but I can’t remember where or who. But that’s a decent suggestion for him also.
Mine was more a tongue in cheek suggestion. Crom was the all-powerful God of everything in the Conan books/comics/movies. That was why I said he would need to be on a Makhulu level of beastly. I tend to stay out of the naming conversations, as some seem receptive, while others not so much. I'll stand on the sidelines, call fouls, and let everyone else join the scrum (rugby reference, which will make sense momentarily, as what a scrum is, is about the height of my rugby knowledge).
What I see when I search for Mapimpi, is a South African rugby player, who, apparently, "emerged from hopelessness". Don't know if it is one in the same, as far as that name goes. I know very little of rugby, and even less about South African pop culture. So, if everyone says that is a fitting name, then it works for me.
