Comments for the name Preston

Famous bearer: Preston Sturges, film director.

A large town/city in Northern England (Lancashire, I think) bears this name. Many British people would associate this name to the place.

This is my dad's middle name and he has always claimed that it means "of the domain of the church".

Britney Spears' son is called Preston.

Actually, Britney Spears' son is named Sean Preston.

Preston Lacey was on the show Jackass.

Preston is one of the coolest names in the world. Just like my friend Preston is one of the coolest persons in the world! I just love this name.

Preston is a great name for a boy, very masculine sounding.

There is also the name Prescott.

Preston is the name of a train station.

My son is called Preston Jack. I think that the two names go well together.

Reminds me of Preston, Idaho. A small town on the southeast tip of Idaho. Where Napolien Dynomite takes place.

I LOVE this name. I think it's so cute. Britney Spears' son is named Sean Preston and I really like that name. Both Sean and Preston are good, solid names. But I especially like Preston.

Ish. Reminds me of a stuck up prep-school boy wearing a sweater vest.

Famous bearer: congressman Preston Brooks (1819-1857). He was notorious for beating senator Charles Sumner over the head with his cane because he insulted one of Brooks' relatives in his speech.

This has to be my absolute favourite name. It's very masculine and has a great ring to it.

Britney Spears has pretty much ruined this name for me, as I now associate it with rather dimwitted people in the country. I know that Britney didn't grow up in a trailer park, and she was actually more of a middle class family child, what with her work on TV and everything, but somehow she has managed to screw up her image so badly that even the names she uses and that belong to people related to her sound trashy.

I have one word to describe this name: sexy. And it's definitely too sexy and nice to be tainted by Britney Spears.

Preston "Bodie" Broadus is a drug dealer on the HBO series The Wire.

My name just happens to be Preston, and I registered here solely to tell at least HALF of you bumbling idiots that you are precisely that! You have no idea what sort of damage can be done to a man's pride by having his name compared to the child of a talentless prostitute! When you insult the name, you insult the person, and I swear the next person to mention Britney Spears' baby to me will get a sound thrashing by way of my fists!

Wow, calm down. I like the name Preston, although I didn't realize it was a name until I met this really nice kid by that name. I choose just to ignore Brittany Spears.

Preston is the best name you can give your kid. It's sexy, strong, enchanting, masculine and simply too gorgeous to describe. I just LOVE this name.♥

I admit that it sounds kind of geeky, and it would arouse the anger of stuck-up people who hate Britney Spears.

Meh, it's ok. I don't get why so many people think this name is "sexy".

Have also known a girl called Preston. Although surnames on girls is very trendy, this one doesn't seem to be taking off as a female name as others have.

I don't like this name. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum from the people who think it sounds prestigious. I think it sounds the exact opposite.

This names ok I guess, it kind of seems a little modern even though it isn't. But if anything, it sounds rather nerdy.
