Can't choose!

Hello all! My husband and I are expecting a boy in October, and we're thinking about these names: Chester or Darren.
We love both! Thoughts?

Darren is very dated. Much prefer Chester.

Can’t say I’m keen on either to be honest but think I prefer Chester, Darren is quite 70’s and feels a bit dated but he would probably be the only one in his class so if you want a unique name go for it.

Of the two I prefer Darren because Chester doesn't work as a name for me (thanks to both the place and the character in Cars 3)

Darren?

Little baby Darren?

Please no.

Chester isn’t great either.

Chester. Darren is such a weird name for a child!

Chester is slightly better than Darren in my opinion. Do you like Dexter or Casper?

Both are beyond dreadful. However Darren
is the far nicer of the two

My thoughts are that both are horrid. Sorry.

I much prefer Darren. I can't imagine any teenage boy would appreciate being named Chester..

I hate the name Darren, its my stalkers name. Baby Chester gets my vote!

OP - perhaps you can give us the reasoning behind your favoured names. They are both very unusual choices.

I'd go for Chester !

I like Darren

Hmm I'd go for Darren, I think.

I agree with PP - could you tell us what you like about them?

Davina McCall and Holly Whilloby (probably spelt wrong!) both have a Chester so feels a bit ‘sleb’ to me. However it is considerably better than Darren IMO which reminds me of a used car salesman

Of the two, I prefer Darren

Unless your going to give birth to a 40 year old brickie, I'd deffo go with Chester.

Darren is awful sorry. Makes me think of mid-70s to early-80s born tradies - always shortened to "Dazza" in Australia.

Chester is fine. Very American, but there's nothing wrong with that.

RedDwarves As soon as I read that I was saying Daaaaazzzaaaa in my head in the biggest bogan accent

Chester...hey Chester Drawers.

Chester is the better of the two IMO. It has a preppy American ring to it but you could make it work.

Darren reminds me of bad boy blokes. No baby in this day and age should be called Darren.

Chester is far better but quite American.

Darren

Darren is much better.
Chester is a name for a horse.

Dazza- Darren- no, just no

Chester- i imagine him being red head, because of a character off something I can’t quite remember.......

Out of the two I would pick Chester 🙂

Only Chester I know of, was the one from Linkin Park and he was a bit of a legend 👍

Oh sorry, I don’t like either! Um... Darren at a push. What else was on your list?
