Scar's Alternative Name

[NightyByeSparrow]

Since they didn't mention what Scar's real name was in the movie, I think "Scar" is just sticking to him like glue. I could never imagine anyone calling him Taka. lol!

Well, yeah, honestly, I agree with you. Even though I like the name "Taka" in general (just how it sounds when saying it, lol), I don't think that if his name would stay as "garbage" for the actual TLK 1 film, it wouldn't suit him at all. For example, can you imagine Cub Simba calling him Uncle Garbage? o_O (I know that last sentence sounded a little weird.)
So, obviously, I think that Scar is a better name

hmm yeah i like Scar more than Taka more evil

[Yumacub]

I thought Taka meant "want" in Swahili

[CommandoTheLion]

in the book he got in a fight with a water buffalo and gave him a scar on his have and he decided to call himself scar.

I thought Taka meant "want" in Swahili

It does. But it also means "rubbish". It's one of those things where words have multiple meanings.

At least they didn't name him Kimba...

[CommandoTheLion]

thats a mean Name for him O.o

[KopsTheTerminator]

Idk why, but I like Taka more. It just shows how innocent Scar was, and how he became a monster. Monsters are made, not born!

[LeonKFox]

Even if meant trash, I would still love the name Taka, I don't speak the langaunge in question so it just sounds a cool name to me ^^

Taka sounds more natrual a name, and there's no way he was always an evil monster, even with his scar, as another poster said, monsters are made and not born.

[CommandoTheLion]

But Taka suits him =/

I do like Taka, but I prefer Scar.
