Don't go with Norman. My DH has Norman as a middle name and loathes it to the point he leaves it off all legal documents and was much put out that it had to be included on his passport.

Aw, have just been reminded of an old friend whose stage name was Chestikoff.

Ps re Norman. Norman Bates? Norman Wisdom? And Is Norman the reason why FatBoy Slim didn't use his given name..............

I quite like it. I think Holly Willoughby has a Chester (not that that should sway you either way, just a random fact!)

Its a bit like calling your baby Preston.

Its a place. I would wonder if he were conceived there.

I quite like Chester, but it does remind me of people selling "chester draws" on Facebook.

I like Victor and Raymond. The nickname Ray is nice as well.

I'm really not a fan of Norman. Norman Bates was my first thought.

Raymond is my favourite out of the four.

Gruffalosfriend · 06/12/2016 10:03

Norman is really not nice, sorry.

Love Victor though!

Another one here who thinks of Chester as a dog's name (in particular, my uncle's beloved Shih Tzu).

Of the others, I'd go for Victor. Know too many bad Raymonds, and Norman just makes me think Bates, Conquest, etc.

I like it! Chet for short Xmas Smile

MollyHuaCha · 06/12/2016 22:20

I prefer Victor.

RortyCrankle · 06/12/2016 22:33

It reminds me of chester draws which I've read on MN is sometimes used by illiterate people on FB when selling a chest of drawers. Sorry. don't really like any of your four choices.

SanityAssassin · 06/12/2016 22:34

Chester by far the nicest of your choices plus Chester Bennington would be a cool namesake!

therootoftheroot · 06/12/2016 22:36

they are all awful

wtf is with the trend of giving babies ugly middle aged man/old man names?

it's not cute. why on earth would you want to call a beautiful baby Norman?

ffs!

BackforGood · 06/12/2016 22:51

Chester is the name of a town, not a person.

Have you suggested the other 3 to make Chester look good in comparison ????

heateallthebuns · 06/12/2016 22:51

Er, I don't believe that shortlist. It's a joke.

Chester zoo?

DramaAlpaca · 06/12/2016 22:53

I don't think we have the same taste in names.

roseteapot101 · 06/12/2016 22:53

that was my cats name =p
