I was born in Preston, England, so I don't really like is as a name that much.

Personal experiences with the name Preston

My brother Preston is the best person I know. He has such a kind heart and is always truly wanting to do the right thing--and does. He is also a wonderful daddy to my niece.

Preston is my husband's name. He is strong, protective and hard-working. People feel safe in his presence. Everyone tells me it is a sophisticated and posh sounding name, and I agree!

My son’s name is Preston Theodore and my husband and I absolutely love his name.

I know a Preston who is strong-willed, but serves and loves others. He teaches at prisons, and brings meals to poor neighborhoods. He is a true role model!

I really like this name!
