I have an Owen - lovely name.

I know 2 canine Chesters however...

Owen, definitely.

Owen. Chester was a chunky horse I knew.

Owen is better by about a million miles.

Chester is bloody dreadful.

Owen! Chester is not a boy's name. It's a small city on a mainline railway with ambitions of parking charges comparable to London.

I really like Chester.

Chester is beautiful...the city that is, have never understood why people use it as a name 🤷🏻‍♀️ it's awful

Owen. Lovely name with a long history.

Chester doesn't sound like a proper name and makes me think "Chester Draws" in a cockney accent.

Owen.

But that could be because I'm not British, and in North America, Chester is a fairly silly name. Like Trevor in the UK.

Owen everytime, Chester is my friends dogs name
