He just wants to catch his daughter with her boyfriend and be able to yell "get out of my swamp"

"So your name is Pete?"

"Not quite, it's peat, short for peatland"

What about Forest?

Also, this appears to be a lemmy of a tumblr of a tweet. How meta.

[–] vexikron@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

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.

It’s the internet ecosystem

Tundra could make a pleasant-sounding name

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Mamushi@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Taiga is another biome that is used as a name.

[–] Conyak@lemmy.tf 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'd like you to meet my Steppe son.

Dry Sclerophyll Forest, it's time for bed.

Wait, those are actually good

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] TurnWest@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know what Isthmus means, but honestly would be a cool name

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.
