Can I call my baby Chester even though I live in Chester?!

[Natalie8585]

Hi
Me and my husband are expecting our second boy in 4 weeks time, we have a 12 month old called Archie and we simply cannot agree on a baby name for boy number two!! The only name we currently both like is Chester but would it be a joke name given we live in Chester (and actually on Chester Road!) as I'm writing this I know it sounds a joke!!!! But we do really like the name!!!!! My other faves are George, Max, Noah and Rex. I don't like my husbands faves of Reggie and Finlay. Comments welcomed!!!! Xxxxx

Move and then it would be ok......

Just no.
I like Max.

Don't call your baby Chester. There isn't a reason on earth to justify doing that to a child.

Chester is more of a name for a pet anyway.

I once knew a fluffy cat with that name, he was a cute cat!

My friend Lee lives in Leigh. HTH

I Lol'ed at that. Just no.

Poor lee, if it's the Leigh I am thinking of

I like George and max from your list.

God, please don't.

Imagine the envelopes addressed to him:

Chester Surname
X Chester Road
Chester

Just... no.

I was going to say it was OK, until I saw that you live in Chester Road as well.

You either need to move, or get a dog.

Ha ha u have all made me lol! Just told my husband it's off the list!!!! Back to drawing board ;-) god it's so hard!!!! Lee from Leigh is funny but not as funny as Chesters address would be!!! X thanks all

I knew a Chester when I was growing up. He & each of his brothers were named after where they were conceived.

What about Stirling? I know brothers who are Findlay and Stirling.

Hope your surname isn't zoo.....

Not heard of that one before, it's unusual. I quite like single syllable simple names, just need to work on the other half

Ha ha imagine!!! No it's cathedral

How about Lennie? I think it's quite a cute name and imho () it sounds quite good with Archie... X

How about Kester? Or is that too similar?

George and Max are very nice.

Leo
Henry
Zachary
Alfie
Charlie
Felix

Do you know Chester?

Chester from Chester Road?

Yes, Chester from Chester Road in Chester'.

No.

I like Max

Suggestions:

Ray (yes, really)
Evan
Victor (Vic)

As long as your surname is not Draws you should be OK

This thread is so funny. (Sorry OP)

How about Kester?

'So where are you from Kester?'

You could just move. My hypothetical second DD will be called Marina, even though we live very near one.
