Help[Opinions] Speedwell
Speedwell is a genus of flowers and I find as particularly nice as a male floral name. I prefer it in the middle and paired with a traditional English name as in my combos. What are you thoughts on it as a name?

Speedwell is a fine name for a rabbit. I would not give it to a person.

Speed well. Go fast and don't crash.
It just doesn't sound like a name for a person, and definitely not a flower.

It reminds me of Webster and Makepeace, very antique New England...and I just looked it up: apparently it was the name of one of the Pilgrims' ships?
I feel like in theory it's better than Spencer, but the obscurity makes it seem less plausible.

Speedwell and Mayflower - could be cute for pets
It does have a very distinct style. I'm really tempted to use English surnames or obscure biblical names with it.

Somehow it's not floral enough. If it were meaningful to someone, it'd be a good middle name. Like if the parent was an herbalist, or they were blooming the day he was born. Otherwise it's pretty twee, if it's just because it seems nice.
I can't help looking for its significance.
Gets you better fast when you're sick?
Lives in a spee?
Doesn't get into an accident when driving over the limit?

Best as a middle name, even then I don’t like it.

My dumb, dyslexic mind read this as Speedway the first 10 tries lmao!!
It would be an interesting surname but not MN imo

I think its nice as a character from the early 1800s? Maybe somebody who does, like idk, archaeology in their spare time and has one of those little model ships above their living room fireplace. He writes with one of those newfangled steel point pens
Bad idea for a real babyname tho lmao

That is rather similar to the aesthetic I've been steeped in lately. Our first museum visits of late have been to see things from collections by people who fit that description and I've been listening to books that deal with similar folk but of a the late Victorian time period. Perhaps it's gotten in my head.

Tbh I like the aesthetic myself. It reminds me of Uncle Quentin from The famous Five

This would also be an interesting way to honour a Veronica.
It's a cute idea. It sounds very.....quaint British, or Puritan or something. Especially with those traditional first names. Or like a Hobbit name!
