Taiga's a Japanese name, though uncommon
Steppe son
What are you doing steppe nomad?
Using flat terrain to facilitate fast movement and colonization. I sure hope no one invents a way to kill me while I descend on your village

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blair
Meaning "plain", "field", "meadow", "battlefield"
🎶 One of these things is not like the others 🎶
I guess cause when the name was made, a good place for a battle was a big ole field. (Speculation)
Yeah, what the fuck?
A plain is mostly grasses. Meadows, fields, and battlefields have flowers.
And love can bloom on them.
Love is a battlefield
Cliff
For(r)est
Meadow
River
Brook
For 2023, the number of births with name River is 3084, which represents 0.168 percent of total male births in 2023.
Tundra is not in the top 1000 names for any year of birth beginning with 2020. Please enter another name.
Was looking them up at https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/babyname.cgi but now "This website is temporarily unavailable," did everyone have the same idea and it's only resourced for 1qps?
I know a kid named River 🤷🏻♂️
I do as well. She's a real badass too
And she can kill you with her brain.
We're possibly talking about different people, unless the River I know has latent superpowers that I'm unaware of.
I'm thinking of River Tam, from Firefly.
Whether she can or can't do that is still debatable, but she did tell Jayne she could. And she can read minds, so it's not entirely out of the question...

Sierra is not an uncommon name, River as well. Probably more.
Marsha
Taiga is a nice name too
What about For(r)est Gump?
Marsha Marsha Marsha
Does Forest not count? Gump is sad.
Tangent but.. Wow it didn’t even occur to me that paludariums were so named because that’s the type of ecosystem they are mimicking, rather than some guy named Paul invented a cool-style terrarium/aquarium merger.. (example below)
TIL!
I'm going to change my name to Peat Bog
In Spanish, Selva (rainforest) is a somewhat common girl's name
If I have a daughter, I'll name her Swamp Thing.
Sounds like a life destined for venirial disease
Takes “draining the swamp” to a whole new (medical) level.
Only if they marry Bobby Itch or Jim Wrought.

Well, Tundra is already in use. Forest is more common than you know. Arid would work if it didn't mean what it does.
Not biomes but ...
Cesspool is an acceptable nickname tho.
South wetlands is reserved only for the exceptionally hot individuals.
Cesspool is an acceptable nickname
Is it though?
Accepted by half of the two individuals involved

Taiga became popular in 2022. Definitely looking forward to seeing that one around. So many Ice Queen jokes.
Xeric Shrubland is going to Google his name in 16 years and dedicate his life to hunting you down.
Chaparral?
Xeric sounds kind of like a cool name to give a kid if you want that kid to suffer for their entire life.
But then again they could rise above it and become a cool person, maybe not quite on the level of Streetlamp leMoose but close.
They'd be pretty popular with the Runescape crowd, for whatever that's worth.
I bet you could find someone named chaparral.
Also I'm sure there's a scrub joke to be had here.
I wanted to name a daughter Tundra.
Ephemeral Pond IIII. I am named after my great grandfather.
My beautiful sons Lupine Meadow and Coastal Sage Scrub.
Plain Jane
My son's class have girls with names like Savannah, Mali and Marina. I find it way too funny.
