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

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.
I wanted to name a daughter Tundra.
Cliff
For®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?
Sierra is not an uncommon name, River as well. Probably more.
Marsha
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…
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
Marsha Marsha Marsha
Taiga is a nice name too
What about For(r)est Gump?
Taiga became popular in 2022. Definitely looking forward to seeing that one around. So many Ice Queen jokes.
Does Forest not count? Gump is sad.
My son’s class have girls with names like Savannah, Mali and Marina. I find it way too funny.
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!
