I love Chester as a boys name - I think Holly Willoughby has a son called Chester so it is used as a child’s name.
It actually has a very long history in the UK as a first name but only really took off in the US.

I like the fact it has history and it's not popular

Absolutely LOVE Chester John and it's my grandfather's name. I'm not sure my husband will go for it which is really annoying!

I wouldn’t go for Chester George because now I’ve heard chest of drawers, I can’t unhear it. Chester & Toby are lovely together though.

Chester Max

I like Chester Thomas but I'm not sure about two syllables-two syllables?

@alicema

I don't dislike the name, but have to agree with previous poster that Chester George does sound like chest of drawers. I'd go for something else or maybe change the middle name?
Yep. I feel like it needs a one syllable middle name, which is tricky..

Any ideas?

It's a very unattractive name. Cute on a dog but awful on a human.

Sounds like he'd be a captain of industry in Victorian times. Not to say that's a bad thing. It's quite a big name but I can imagine it being quite sweet on a little boy.
