Tony the Taiga
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
oooh if i put this gray powder mixture into a tube and add fire it goes boom! how fun!
I know a kid named River 🤷🏻♂️
Melody Pond?
No, lol. My cousin’s real-life 5 yr old son.
Are they a bastard born between King's Landing and The Twins?
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
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!
Theorycrafting this - Tundra would be a nice name. So would Mesa, Fen, and Delta.
Delta you say?
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.
Not Man-Thing?
Taiga became popular in 2022. Definitely looking forward to seeing that one around. So many Ice Queen jokes.
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
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.
Ephemeral Pond IIII. I am named after my great grandfather.
I wanted to name a daughter Tundra.
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.
