I sort of like the name Chester but I'm not liking the responses I get on the street when I say I like it. So, I thought I would get opinions from you all.
WDYT of Chester?
Any names with the same feel and sound of Chester?

I dont really like it. For a pet of some sort its great, but not for a human child. I dont know why, but it doesnt work for me

Kind of cute in a retro-chic way. May be too much for "average folks" :b But I do like it. BTW, I cared for twins recently named Chester & William. A lot of the other nurses said "ewwwww" about Chester, esp. since his brother's name was so "normal". Sheesh. Funnily, though, I kept wanting to call him "Chester Copperpot" :b(that's a Goonies reference, btw....um, a movie from the 1980s, btw, LOL).

My mom has a cat named Chester.

I like the idea of it. It has the same cool retro feel as many of the other boy names I like -- Martin, Felix, Dexter, Dean, Arthur...

I don't care for Chester (because how many times have I heard the "Chester, Chester, child molester" thing?), but I really like Chet. I don't know what else it could be a nickname for, though, which was coincidentally something that I'd been thinking of asking on this board.

To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions.

Oops, forgot about that. Lester is the more obvious one (I worked with a guy named Lester and people sung that about him everyday. :-/ Maturity.), but Chester would have the bad-rhyming thing against it, too. :(

Is actually a pretty cool name.

I wouldn't use it. I'd rate it a 7 out of 10
