As you say it has been used for years and tbf even a couple of years ago it could make sense for his age
If that helps people to differentiate who is being talked about, great i guess. But that doesn't make the name anymore meaningful, you could just say "[...] Nk BBoy son [...]" or whatever, there is no other Nkuhuma male sired by BBoys so yeah thats way more characteristic than "nym", even something about his eye would sound better (my opinion ofc!).
Not big of a deal to mention/contextualize which lion is being talked about, so far its factual the use of this name is more about people's attachment to it than actual relevance to ID.
And i said plenty of times and yeah the name is pointless for me and i stand still for that. If you guys like to use it thats fine obviously, i point it out sometimes for bare personal confusion since any of the Nkuhumas could be called nym nowdays except for him, who isn't much near being young anymore.
