The initials don't spell anything do they as you have chosen names with a vowel as a middle name! I quite like both, but am imaging Chester will end up 6ft 4 and built like a brick wall for some reason.

What's he called?! And how are things going?

Felix is one of my very favourite boy names so I vote Felix Albert.

I admit, if a child were called Chester, I'd wonder if that was where he was conceived.

I hear Felix and I think cat sorry!
I like Chester but it is quite American and I don’t think brits (assuming you are in the UK OP) are onboard with it yet

Your baby so you abd Husband have the ultimate say, try not to be put off by people's comments. I happen to like Chester as a first name you have the cute nn Chet.

Felix Edward or better still Edward Felix. My first thought was Chester Draws.

Felix Albert. Lovely name. Felix is my fave boy name but couldn't use it due to surname.

I know a Chester but can't help but think Chester draws or Chester Copperpot when I hear his name.

Felix Albert although Edward would be better.

Felix Albert! Super name!

Not keen on Chester, the child might be nicknamed Draws at school.

Agree with Troubled Chester sounds like he should be sitting on a porch in a rocking chair in Florida 😳

I’m going with Felix Albert

I much prefer Edward and at a push Albert as first names. But if it has to be one of the two combinations you’ve given then definitely Felix Albert. Chester is awful, it makes me think of an elderly American man.

I really dislike Chester sorry. And not keen on Felix. Albert and Edward are lovely.

So my vote is Felix Albert.
