I have a boy due in the next couple of days and Chester is on my list to name him. Bradley is the middle name the surname is Webb. Does the name flow well? What are your thoughts?

It flows better as Bradley Chester Webb.
But still sounds a bit like a firm of accounts! Sorry @Marcwebb87523 😳
I think it's having two two syllable first names that could easily be surnames.

Really not keen on Chester.

WineIsMyCarb · 28/10/2021 23:53

Do you live in Chester? Personally not keen on naming people after places.
Brad Webb is ok.

Viviennemary · 28/10/2021 23:57

I agree that it sounds like a nice reliable old school firm of accountants or solicitors. Back to the drawing board with this one I think.,

C b webb = Cobweb

Chester Oliver Bradley Webb would be better if he arrives on Sunday.

MinesAPintOfTea · 29/10/2021 00:01

Three surnames!

mathanxiety · 29/10/2021 00:02

Is there any particular reason you've chosen Chester?

Marcwebb87523 · 29/10/2021 00:09

It is a name that I thought would be unique and not used so much. That's why I chose it.

I like Chester and think you can get away with Chester Webb, I think it's Bradley as a middle name that makes it sound a little odd as like people said they could easily be three surnames.. I would either change the middle name or add a second middle name like someone else has suggested

Jerrysgonnabeacableboy · 29/10/2021 03:39

It's a perfectly respectable and okay name. If you like it then use it!

Delilah37 · 29/10/2021 03:59

Chester drawers - that’s the child in me!

But actually, I like Chester as a first name.

pollywollydoodler · 29/10/2021 04:03

Chester Webb? Spiders have been busy...

ClumpingBambooIsALie · 29/10/2021 04:11

Sounds to me like a 1920s cricketer but nothing intrinsically wrong with it.

miamiibiza · 29/10/2021 04:15

I love Chester

daisypond · 29/10/2021 06:04

I’m not keen. It does sound like a firm of dodgy estate agents. I’m not keen on Chester, though, so that puts me off.

BurnedToast · 29/10/2021 06:07

I like it.

Kanaloa · 29/10/2021 06:08

I mean his name will really just be Chester Webb, won’t it? I think that sounds absolutely fine. Yes, it’s a bit much with the middle name but middle names aren’t used in daily conversations. I don’t know the middle names of any of my colleagues, and don’t know most of my friends either.

Roselilly36 · 29/10/2021 07:23

I like the name Chester, good choice.

GoodnightGrandma · 29/10/2021 07:24

Prefer Bradley.

Try as I might, I don't get this.
Kanaloa · 29/10/2021 07:45

@LetHimHaveIt

Cobweb? It’s halloween day on Sunday!

LetHimHaveIt · 29/10/2021 07:45

Scratch that. I finally got it. I thought you were linking cobwebs to Sundays in general, not this particular Sunday.

bogeythefungusman · 29/10/2021 07:46

Lethimhaveit - initials........

LivingLaVidaBabyShower · 29/10/2021 07:53

All i can hear is the mumsnet typo "chester drawers"

Objectively Chester is a pronouncable & inoffensive (if not amercian type) name

And Chester Webb sounds pretty good to my ear so if you love it for it!

The bradley is a bit much though i'd go for john or james or something
