I wanted to name a daughter Tundra.
My son’s class have girls with names like Savannah, Mali and Marina. I find it way too funny.
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!

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

Heath is another one.
Sierra is not an uncommon name, River as well. Probably more.
Marsha
Cliff
For®est
Meadow
River
Brook

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?
Taiga became popular in 2022. Definitely looking forward to seeing that one around. So many Ice Queen jokes.

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…
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
looks like a modernized version of an old english name, something like “Serric”
lo Serric, i knew him well
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
Taiga is a nice name too
In Spanish, Selva (rainforest) is a somewhat common girl’s name
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!
