People can complain all they want, but unless someone comes up with an actual name that is universally accepted for him, Nym it is. 
And lets be honest here. Most of the names are unoriginal, duplicated and can be argued over in a similar maner. Mohawk is not more official than any other name and will not make sense once he loses his mane either. Not to mention that the whole Pride young Gender naming sceme is a recipe for confusion to begin with if strictly followed.

So lets not overthink it. Aslong we know which lion is being referred too its fine and the new Nyms will get their own nicknames eventually. Its not like the animals use names themselves and are are out there feeling insulted if we name them Mr biggles or Snowball or something.

The guides of the reserve he settled down in named him Mohawk. It doesn't get more official than that.

And if you are going to insist on calling the Nkuhuma male Nym (I can't tell you to do otherwise), then please differentiate between 'Nym' and 'NYM' - one is a 'word', the other is an acronym. You wouldn't call the US space program Nasa or the secret service Cia. Reply
