      Forest is a common name, yep.

      So is Savanna.

      Never heard of anyone named Prairie, but it would also work imo and not be too weird.

      Probably wouldnt have too much luck with Temperate Rainforest or Alpine Grasslands.

      And then… then theres Bog.

      It works as a name, but you probably do not want to be named Bog.

    “So your name is Pete?”

    “Not quite, it’s peat, short for peatland”

    I worked with a woman named Savannah. One time someone called her Rain Forest instead and since our job sucked, we all started laughing hysterically.

      I was thinking Taiga, that way when my daughter gets to school the other little nightmare monsters don’t call her “Truck”.

    I could possibly understand Bog, Valley, Tundra, Oasis, or Isthmus as names. I’ve heard stupider names.

        An isthmus is a relatively narrow strip of land separating two bodies of water, and linking two larger landmass.

        An easy example is how central America has that thin bit that connected to South America before they dug the Panama canal. The Suez canal crosses another isthmus that we dug through like that.

    Savannah isn’t a biome, it’s a city. Savanna is a biome and I’ve never met someone with that name.

    I wouldn’t fuck with anyone named Tundra or Mangrove. Those mfs might be Power Rangers in disguise

    Because they’re not named after the biome, they’re named after the city. Like Austin, Brooklyn, Phoenix, Dallas, etc.
