Thoughts on both names ladies? Using this as a forum as only hubby and I know names. Both our mothers are school teachers and don't want to know the name of our baby until he's here as associate so many names with rotten pupils haha!

Our surname starts with an E x

Chester much better than Oscar as there will be 5 more Oscars in his class at school. If that doesn't bother you then choose Oscar.

No love for chester!! Thank you as I really don't want a name that everyone including our lovely boy will hate! Appreciate Oscar is popular although not so much where we live.

Any love for Ashton?

Oscar is very popular and a nice name. Personally I don't like the name Chester. How about Charles (you can call him Chester as a nn and see how you like it?)

Love Oscar!

Not so much Chester

I don't love Chester but think Chet would be a really cool nickname.

I like Oscar but it's a bit overly popular at the moment.

Next door's cat is called Chester (a big ginger Tom)
My sister's dog is called Oscar.

I vote Oscar too.

When I was a child my Mum called boobs 'chesters' so my vote goes to Oscar. Grin
