A famous bearer was American jazz trumpeter and singer Chet Baker (December 23, 1929 - May 13, 1988). He was a member of groups such as the Gerry Mulligan Quartet, he notably collaborated with Elvis Costello on multiple recordings, and had major issues with drug abuse.
Chet is so NOT short for Chester. It is it's own original name. Chester is kind of geeky, Chet is masculine and handsome. Please people, do not associate the name Chet with Chester.
