My husband and I are expecting our third child--If its a boy what do you think of the name Speed with possibly middle name McCartney?

You're joking right?

Speed brings to mind two things: drugs and the Keanu Reeves movie. I'd avoid saddling a kid with either of those.

I like McCartney - would you consider that as a fn?

AJ, enjoying life with C.

Honestly? I think it's AWFUL. Speed? I think of drugs. I'd keep looking.

There was a boy named Speedy Fry at my brother's high school. This was a Catholic boys school in Los Angeles in the 1980s. All the kids thought his name was cool.

Did they ever call him Speed or was it Speedy? Thanks a bunch! You are the second person to say something not overly negative-which is fine or I wouldn't have asked.

Yes we have thought of it-the only thing is that our daughters name is McKinna. We'd probably change it a little to MaCartney.

When my husband and I read your reply we busted out laughing. I had the same thought! It was funny to hear someone else say it. The next thing is that the FOB is a race car driver-the name was not intentional on that at all.

Are you serious? I am still trying to let it soak in. Just curious but is your baby's name Stone? Thanks!
