Sorry, "speed" to me is a word- both a noun and a verb...but not a name. I wouldn't use it...can't say I like it...

oh, but a question- do you like the *sound* of "Speed", or the meaning of the word? Maybe there is another name that has a similar meaning if that's what it is about the name that you like... good luck... ~V

We wanted something different--to me the name Speed is not any different than Chase.

I often like unique strong names like that, but I just don't think I could warm up to Speed as a name.

Speed - as in amphetamines uses as an illegal drug? Speed as in speed freak - a drug addict?

This is almost starting to get comical-could at least 1 person like it? If it helps the actual meaning is successful and prosperity.

Uh, no. My first thought was the drug, followed closely behind by the Keanu Reeves movie. I do know a couple dogs named this, but can't imagine it as anything other than a nickname. Maybe something more traditional, but still unusual and use Speed as a nn if you really love it?

Oh, gosh. No way!!! It's fine if you want something different, but "Speed" is not the way to go. Horrible.
