Baby Names

Chester?

What about Chester?  I was totally against it and wanted just Chet, but I don't feel comfortable with that as a stand alone name. My husbands grandfather is Chester but goes by Chet. This baby will always be called Chet but Chester is slowly growing on me as an "ok" name. I already have a Max and Simon. Is Chester horrible web though he will be called Chet?

Re: Chester?

  • I like Chet. Chester reminds me of Cheetos.

  • First thing I thought of is Chester Fried Chicken.

    But honestly, I think it is a very strong name and Chet is such a fiesty/cute nickname to go with it, in my opinion.

    I think Chet would stand by itself. And, not that they are the remotely the same, but I think of Chet in the same category as Brett and Rhett.

  • What everybody else said.

    Plusandalso, I think that the nn Chet is very feminine and pretentious.

    I like Chet and Chester. There is nothing wrong with either name and I love the family connection.

  • I would steer clear of Chester for all of the reasons given by the pps.  I have a feeling that he would be jealous of his brothers' names.
  • Went to high school with a "Chesson" and we still call him "Chester the Molester" when referring to him to this day.

    LOL sadly I agree!! 

  • Chet is a name to which I have a violent physical reaction, something between a simple cringe and a full-on recoil... I absolutely hate it.

    Chester on the other hand... I would say that if you want to call him Chet, then by all means, give him a full name as well--Chester fits the bill fine.
