Tony the Taiga
Taiga's a Japanese name, though uncommon
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

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?
Xeric Shrubland is definitely a LOTR character.
Xeric as a name actually sounds kinda badass
If I ever see it as a name I'm just going to assume it's someone who was named Eric by his parents and had it changed to be edgier when he was fourteen
looks like a modernized version of an old english name, something like "Serric"
lo Serric, i knew him well
Sierra is not an uncommon name, River as well. Probably more.
Marsha
Taiga is a nice name too
What about For(r)est Gump?
Does Forest not count? Gump is sad.
In Spanish, Selva (rainforest) is a somewhat common girl's name

My name is Clay.
I see what you did there.
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
only if they're a single-prop airplane enthusiast
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
Well, Tundra is already in use. Forest is more common than you know. Arid would work if it didn't mean what it does.
Pete Bog.
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.
Not Man-Thing?
Xeric Shrubland is going to Google his name in 16 years and dedicate his life to hunting you down.
Forest Whitaker DESTROYED
Taiga became popular in 2022. Definitely looking forward to seeing that one around. So many Ice Queen jokes.
Chaparral?
I bet you could find someone named chaparral.
Also I'm sure there's a scrub joke to be had here.
there's probably somebody named lake
Actress Lake Bell? She has a lot of credits. Girl works.
I wanted to name a daughter Tundra.
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.
Ephemeral Pond IIII. I am named after my great grandfather.
My beautiful sons Lupine Meadow and Coastal Sage Scrub.
Plain Jane
Naming my kid Tundra or Elfin now, thanks!

Tim Tundra
I would name a child Orchard.
My son's class have girls with names like Savannah, Mali and Marina. I find it way too funny.
And even then, only to a female! Certainly not a male name.
