What is simba and nalas cub called in lion king?

Answer 1

In the Lion King II, Simba and Nala have a daughter named Kiara. She is the cub held up in the end of The Lion Kingeven though the ceremony differs from Kiara's. The filmmakers of the original The Lion King nicknamed the cub "Fluffy" as in meant to be genderless as Disney didn't plan on having a sequel. However, Disney allowed a children's book series "The Lion King: Six New Adventures" to become profit around the time of the release of the original movie, in which Simba has a son named Kopa. But, his character was ignored during production of The Lion King II, resulting in the officially genderless and nameless cub shown in the end of The Lion King, to be Kiara from the official Disney movie sequel. The ceremonies differ probably because the filmmakers of The Lion King II wanted to remake the ceremony so they can add in an opening musical number similar to the opening musical number seen in the original film. Overall, in canon/official movie universe, Simba and Nala's first and only child is their daughter, Kiara.

Answer 2

They only have one cub: daughter Kiara. Yes, the cub at the end of the first film and its ceremony appear completely different from Kiara's, but officially they still are the same cub in essence. Because on the commentary track of the film its creators did not give it an identity but refered to the cub as just "Fluffy" and made no gender reference. The commentary was released after the Lion King books had been released as in Disney seperated the books from the movie universe. And then in a magazine interview one of the sequel film's animators has confirmed that the sequel starts off where the first film left us and that the cub seen at the end of the first film is a queen. Thus, when the two films are combined, Simba and Nala have only one cub; daughter Kiara. And if only the first film is regarded the cub has no official identity and it can be whoever you want.

Answer 3

Officially they have only one cub, no matter what part of the franchise you look at, and its name depends on which part you look at.

• In the first movie alone it does not have an official real name nor gender as on the film's commentary track its creators called it only a unisex nickname "Fluffy" and made no gender reference. This happened after the books were released but before the sequel film, though they did not change the commentary even after the sequel. So it remains genderless "Fluffy"..
• In the sequel film The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride, it is Kiara. They blended Kiara and above mentioned "Fluffy" into one in the film's official trailer, and one of the animators confirmed that the cub from the first film is Kiara.
• Thus, in the two films combined, the cub is Kiara, but if regarded only the first film it is just genderless "Fluffy" and can become whatever you personally want.
• In the book universe of the franchise there are many versions of the cub as almost all the books contradict each others. In the series called 'Six New Adventures' the cub is named Kopa, but in other books it's left nameless boy or a girl depending on the book.
