Is Kester awful?

[crayfish]

My hormone-addled brain can't decide if I love it or hate it. We are stuck for boys names because the only one I really loved I gave to DS1, so if this baby is another boy I'm stumped. DH is a Christopher and I think Kester is a nice nod to that but I'm not sure if it's a bit 'out there'?

Terrible name, sorry!!!

Kester is a great name. Not a bird name either. Do it !

I know of one in real life. Everyone makes a face when they say it. It is routinely mocked.

The bird name comment was my reaction to somebody suggesting the name Kestrel...

what about Chester? or Chesney?

Sorry horatio, I'd skipped a bit.

I think we've all done that... :)

I'm still waiting for somebody to love the name Corvus 😂

Hector. I always think that Hamish is a dogs name now.

Such an ugly name.

I like it!

Not at all. Kester is great!

It may rhyme with fester but then Miles rhymes with piles, Millie/Tilly/Lily rhyme with willy, Hugh rhymes with poo... you get the idea. It's a non-issue IMO.

Hector is nice but I prefer Kester. Don't like Hamish.

I don't think it has an attractive sound and also makes me think of Keister (as in bum). And reminds me of Uncle Fester from the Addams family.

It's not the best name, it must be said....

Don't like Kester sorry. But like Keir or Douglas

Dreadful name, sorry

I know a lovely child called Kester. It's a really nice name IMO and I really love it but that might just be because he's such a nice boy!

Kit or Craig?

It's unlikely to be an ancient Scottish name because there is no K in the Gaelic alphabet.

Kester the Molestor. Kester Fester. No no No.

Yes, awful!
