My dad passed away recently and me and my husband are now expecting out third child and I’m looking for ideas for names sounds like or goes with [name_m]Chester[/name_m]. Boy and girl. First and middle names. Our other two kids both first names start with K so if suggesting first name I’d prefer it start with a K! And please, nothing said bad towards anything I know chester is a odd, old name I just really want to carry his name on. Thank you!
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss.
The obvious answer to me is [name_m]Kester[/name_m] for a boy, which I love! It’s an obscure Scottish form of [name_m]Christopher[/name_m].
I really love [name_m]Chester[/name_m] too, actually, so I’d support using that in full too if you like it.
Other K names that share sounds and/or meaning with [name_m]Chester[/name_m]:
[name_m]Keir[/name_m]
[name_u]Kerr[/name_u]
[name_m]Kannon[/name_m]
Kestrel
[name_f]Krista[/name_f]
Others:
Chesten (Cornish form of [name_f]Christine[/name_f])
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f]/Cesca
You could just use [name_m]Chester[/name_m]!

I’m so sorry for your loss, and I think it’s wonderful that you’re honoring your dad’s name. I personally think [name_m]Chester[/name_m] is a wonderful, charming name. [name_m]Chet[/name_m] stands out to me in that it is more modern but has a similar meaning and sound. As do [name_u]Kim[/name_u] and [name_u]Kimberly[/name_u]/[name_f]Kimberley[/name_f], with some sound connection, a “K,” and the meaning “from the royal fortress meadow.” Some ideas:
Sound connection, first or middle:
[name_f]Hester[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
Kalia
[name_f]Keira[/name_f]
[name_f]Chiara[/name_f]
Kestrel
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_f]Carina[/name_f]
Meaning connection: ([name_m]Chester[/name_m] means fortress/walled town, so I tried to find other names with that meaning.)
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u] (means “dark fortress”)
[name_f]Deva[/name_f] (a [name_m]Roman[/name_m] fortress)
Cyrenne (both for sound and that it is a walled city.)
[name_m]Cashel[/name_m] (walled city in [name_f]Ireland[/name_f] with a connecting sound)
[name_m]Burke[/name_m]
[name_m]Carew[/name_m] (“from the fortress”)
Caerwyn/Carwyn (“white fortress”)
[name_u]Cary[/name_u]
[name_u]Lesley[/name_u]/[name_u]Leslie[/name_u] (from the gray forest)
[name_m]Marvin[/name_m] (“from the sea fortress”)
[name_u]Carlisle[/name_u]/[name_u]Carlyle[/name_u] (“from the walled city”)
I know a baby boy named Keston.
My first thought was [name_u]Chelsea[/name_u] for a girl - it seeks like the female version of [name_m]Chester[/name_m]. So you could do [name_f]Kelsea[/name_f] maybe?
Keston and [name_f]Kelsea[/name_f]
My dad is also dying (on hospice) so I definitely get it. I’m sorry for your loss.
