Chester?

[LadybirdSpots]

What's the general opinion on "Chester" for a boy?

We're having a boy and are really struggling for names. The only boys name I have ever absolutely loved is DSs name, Harry.

I wasn't bothered about Harry being popular as I loved it so much and I've never regretted it, but this time around I fancy something a little bit different.

Is Chester a "proper" name or do you think it sounds completely ridiculous?!

Jackson?

PS Chester is a dog.

PS Chester is a dog.

Really like it!

I don't like place names as first names, sorry.

Dog name. Sorry!

Nope it's a cat - my cat's called Chester

I love Chester - I live there.
FIL called his dog Chester but I wouldn't do that to a human.

To be clear, I know it's "chest of drawers"!

Gorgeous vintage name, cute for a baby and strong for a man. Predicted to make a comeback.

Remind me of Chester Tate in Soap. Yes I am old.

Automatically makes me think 'Chester Draws' and then of the Fast Show sketches about Arthur Atkinson so my association is terribly unfunny old comedy shows. So sorry ridiculous rather than proper really.

Don't like it sorry

I'm guessing the baby was named a while ago now.

Nothing wrong with it in my opinion, it's got a cuddly bear image to me.

Gary Gaz The Parsnip has just named his son Chester, as well as Holly and Davina

I quite like it, dd knows one at pre-school and it always makes me smile when she says his name.

Awful. I know a dog called Chester.

Chester is most definitely a name and one I love dearly!

Mostly because I was a fan of Linkin Park growing up and the singer, the late beloved Chester Bennington, has always been one of my favorite vocalists!

Oops haha yes this child has well and truly been named!
