What do you think we invent something about his eyes, his eyes always look half closed, maybe "Slit Eyes" , which means having narrow eyes ??

"Slit Eyes" sounds like really cool name, and quite unique for lion (in fact i think nobody had that name).

See this does illustrate the problem with us trying to give them names, as we're almost never going to agree on something. Although that was kind of the point of the poll, to at least see what was most popular.

My issue with 'slit eyes', is that unlike a name like, say 'Slitnose', is that it's hardly a permanent feature. Yes, sometimes his eyes are half closed, but often they are fully open. The eyes half-closed things just speaks to his character. He's a dominant, assertive bad boy, and he knows it. Which is why the best name for him will probably be something about his personality. But, in my mind, Big Boy could also allude to his character. Pale Eyes/K3 for example, is probably not any smaller, but he is chilled and 'quiet', where as K4 has a big personality, as we would say if he was human.

And for him not necessarily being bigger than all the others, I don't think it matters so much. To my recollection, Big Boy Charlseton wasn't necessarily bigger than Mazino, as they were both big males. It was probably a similar case where he just didn't have any defining physical characteristics, unlike his brother/coalition partner who had the tooth hanging down. And that was where I got inspiration for the name. But that was my personal preferance, and those are my thoughts, but it doesn't mean I'm right, as your opinion and thoughts are just as valid and valued. Reply
