In Spanish, Selva (rainforest) is a somewhat common girl's name
Sierra is not an uncommon name, River as well. Probably more.

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?
Chaparral?
Cliff
For(r)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?
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
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!
Forest Whitaker DESTROYED
Pete Bog.
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)
Love is a battlefield
Yeah, what the fuck?
A plain is mostly grasses. Meadows, fields, and battlefields have flowers.
And love can bloom on them.
Tony the Taiga
Does Forest not count? Gump is sad.
Xeric Shrubland is going to Google his name in 16 years and dedicate his life to hunting you down.
I know a kid named River 🤷🏻♂️
Are they a bastard born between King's Landing and The Twins?
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...

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.

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
Taiga is a nice name too
What about For(r)est Gump?
I'm going to change my name to Peat Bog
there's probably somebody named lake
Actress Lake Bell? She has a lot of credits. Girl works.
Montane
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.
