[Opinions] Taiga
WDYT of this as a name?It's a word for a biome, a huge forest that basically encircles the northern part of the world. It makes up 29% of the world's forest cover! It's also called a "snow forest". Check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiga I think I really like it. It's powerful and also sounds kind of like Tiger (David Attenborough says it like "TY-gah"), but it's classier than Tiger. It's also got an 80's vibe to it, a bit of day-glo pep around the edges there. Ancient primeval forest with day-glo accents.

I remember this from school, pronounced with three syllables. Tah-EE-gah. Because it reminds me of seventh grade geography class, I don't really like it as a name, I don't think.

Interesting...apparently I live in the Taiga belt. I've only heard it used about the forests of Siberia.
It has a nice enough sound. Wish it didn't make me think of GULAG camps...

If Savannah (and I've got a Savannah step-niece who's the biome, not the US city), then why not Taiga? Much better than Forrest or Forest.The day-glo accents could be orange and brown ...

I like the fact that it relates to nature but I wouldn't be keen on it as a first name.I could just see a lifetime of having to spell it out to avoid being labeled Tiger. From personal experience this can be so frustrating. Possibly it would be ok as a middle name.

Oooh. It's really cool, both the sound and meaning. I've always thought Tundra would make a cool name as well.

Pretty, unsual.. I like it.

Very interesting!I didn't think New Brunswick was part of that biome, so looked it up, and no, the northern part where I live is in the Acadian forest. I'd probably use Taiga as a middle name, I'm not real adventurous with names.

I don't think it has a great sound, aesthetically, when I think of it as a name, like it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Sorry.

Hi !!!Taiga?
I know the nature association but it is negative for me.It make me think of a brutal and total silence that chill your bones and your soul. I know is a forest but...it is too North for me.Byeeeeeeee

"a brutal and total silence that chill your bones and your soul"That is so hauntingly beautiful. Reminds me of wintertime in my province.

It could work. The nature association is a plus. I think it gives me a positive feeling.
