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

And even then, only to a female! Certainly not a male name.
Sierra is not an uncommon name, River as well. Probably more.

My name is Clay.
I see what you did there.
In Spanish, Selva (rainforest) is a somewhat common girl's name
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
Tony the Taiga
Taiga's a Japanese name, though uncommon
Cliff

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?

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.
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
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...
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!
Does Forest not count? Gump is sad.
Taiga is a nice name too
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
Chaparral?
Xeric Shrubland is going to Google his name in 16 years and dedicate his life to hunting you down.
What about For(r)est Gump?
Theorycrafting this - Tundra would be a nice name. So would Mesa, Fen, and Delta.
Delta you say?
Sitting behind these hairdos in class and at the theater definitely sucked back in the 80's.
I still don't know how open flames for cigarettes and big hair co-existed.
I'm going to change my name to Peat Bog
If I have a daughter, I'll name her Swamp Thing.
Sounds like a life destined for venirial disease
Only if they marry Bobby Itch or Jim Wrought.
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.
