i've only been on lioden for a little under two weeks, but i've quickly caught onto how the site functions and the culture of players here. specifically, the types of players and how they name their lions. here's a list of what i've noticed, pls comment some more if you have some too!!

types of players naming lions
- never grew out of their warrior cats phase
whether or not they're in it for the roleplay, these guys are easy to spot because all of their lions follow typical warrior cats naming rules. cubs named (noun)-kit, adols named (noun)-paw, adults named (noun)-(cat anatomy part), and then bonus points for kings being named (noun)-star.

- breeders
i do not yet understand the lingo, but the cubs are named based on their marking descriptions and usually have player numbers in the footnote because they're reserved for different players. frequent in the giveaway and sales chats.

- name lions like cats at an animal shelter
sparky, rose, fluffy, steven, scooby, snowy (frequent use of names that end in -y)

- these shits
captain ballsucker, flamebalz, smegmaman, freddy fazbear

- the badass ones
actually put a lot of care into naming lions, even potato ones or ncls. you'll find cool fantasy-inspired names, and often names from different african languages and cultures. if these guys have css, it looks very aesthetically pleasing.

- naming lions is too much pressure
subgenre of the mfs who name lions like cats at an animal shelter, but these guys are so bad because sometimes the lion is named "idk" or is just called "cub" even when they age up to an adult.

- names lions like 13-year-olds on wattpad naming their ocs
if your lion is named nightwing, darkfire, blood, silver, or anything emo you are this person.

- reads books
these are the guys who name their lions after harry potter and percy jackson characters.

- the LORE
lions have the most beautiful made-up names ever with detailed lion bios... either have immaculate or cringey css with headache inducing font colors in their den. take pvp seriously. bonus points if they have cool fonts for their lion names or decorative emojis. these mfs are extra and i have so much respect for all the character they give their pride and the dedication to the aesthetic.

- the amalgamation
these guys just do not care that much and you'll find lions fitting every description listed above in their pride.

- the Lazies/Idc's (credit to The Freak #185138)
these people dont do ANYTHING, only lion named in their pride is probably their king. Even then their name is probably something generic like j o h n. Meanwhile the rest of the pride dont even got names, and if they do its probably just some spammed name💀 How long have you been on this site, years!? Aint no way...

that's what i have so far, lemme know if you spot others.

I have sorta descriptive names. It's sorta the lore one. I've got a pride theme I follow. All lions including my king, follow the theme. So like one of my new cubs form the tree is Night Flower. Because of her markings and base, my king is Silver Step, same reason. Basically all two word names that fit their looks.

The half and half
These people put effort into half of their lions names. Lots of the times the lions that don't have any effort put into the names are called new cub or cub. The ones that they do put effort into are well thought out and have a big meaning behind the name. They prefer to just let the lions live htier lives and don't do anything other than feed, breed, and play, every now and then they have their lions hunt and patrol.

I love this so much! I'd personally be one of lore ones (other than the lions in the adoption den) I'm working on re-naming lots of my lions and getting them lore.

The generation keepers
These guys focus on keeping the generation of the lion, often also marking wether the lion is clean or dirty.

I think I fit into the warrior cats, but transitioning into more historical, mythological names. I’m deep into the lore section too lol

Im 100% a mix of the badass one and the lore

Plus theres the whole name them after whatever character im currently huperfixated on. I have a pie named Din after the mandalorian and one named Fiddlers green bc of the Sandman. Theres a few others too but i cant think of em off the top of my head 😂

Id like to specify that im not badass naming or lore naming on this account its my side account tahts the better one

I have fun mixing parent names to get the cub names. If I can't get those combos to sound at least tolerable (if not funny or beautiful), then I often opt for mythological or folklore-related names.

May or may not be lazy... And I don't give a flip. It helps me to figure out who are the combo breeders.

The only time I actually have non lazy names is February. This year I went with airlines and as usual no one noticed or cared. Doing it again next year.

Previous years in February I used ice hockey terms.

Then theres me, who was away for years and got asked to rename their king, mistakenly thought it was for the account, and then got stuck with Deedeesaurus as the name of my lad. It's alright, I make him look foolish to make up for it.

Oh no lol.. I think I have the 13yr old on wattpad kind of names, mainly cause they are so easy I don't need to think of anything specific, unless I really want to put some effort into a lion
