It's probably short for Chester lol
One of the co-anchors for NBC news in the '60s was Chet Huntley. Was a common enough name then.

in the 60s lol but maybe not today
The governor of Iowa until January of this year was Chet Culver. Chet Edwards was a Congresscritter from Texas until January. May not be as popular as it once was but it's hardly rare.
shareHughes would also use the name Chet three years later in The Great Outdoors. John Candy as Chet Ripley.

You must be pretty young. Chet is not all that uncommon. Ever hear of Chet Atkins?
sharemy age is not an issue. I posted this question about 6 months ago. So all my questions have been answered.
The fact is Chester is not a name given in Australia unless it was your pet dog. It sounds more common in US or other countries.
Its a very americana name. just found out this year that is short for Chester. :)
Well, DUH. The movie was made in the US. Not Austraila.
shareThe name enjoyed more popularity in the past, notably due to the 21st President of the United States Chester A. Arthur.

Chet is usually short for Chester. I get the impression the name Chester was more popular years ago. I knew a Chet when I was growing up in Clifton, NJ USA in the '70s.
shareAnybody read The Hardy Boy books (growing up) Frank & Joe had a buddy called Chet & they also had a friend called Biff.
