Well... I try to take the name a bit further than the immediate animal, and
focus more on the connotation... for example, I have the "Ocean Cubs" for the
RK/KK, and I decided (today!) that my WP, which are not just brown-colored but
a mixture of red and brown, will be called...
<drum roll...>
The Rouge Rogues...
hehe... silly, yet fun! Stupid, but pun! :-)
(I AM serious, tho'. That's what I'm calling them.)
So anyhow, I try not to focus SO much on the animal but on the connotation.
The WP are considered roguish, while the lions are fierce (and my lions'
specific realm is Ocean-oriented, many islands and coasts).
