Steppe son
What are you doing steppe nomad?

Pete Bog.
Xeric Shrubland is going to Google his name in 16 years and dedicate his life to hunting you down.
Does Forest not count? Gump is sad.

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.
Tony the Taiga
there's probably somebody named lake
Actress Lake Bell? She has a lot of credits. Girl works.
I would name a child Orchard.
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.
Tim Tundra
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.
I'm going to change my name to Peat Bog
What about For(r)est Gump?
Taiga is a nice name too
Ephemeral Pond IIII. I am named after my great grandfather.
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
My beautiful sons Lupine Meadow and Coastal Sage Scrub.
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.
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.
cherry grove
I bet you could find someone named chaparral.
Also I'm sure there's a scrub joke to be had here.
