HelpRe: Preston

Not bad!
I don't like surnames as names unless they are surnames in the recipient's ancestry or to honour a personal friend or relative.
Preston is the name of an old landed Scottish family, and as early as about 1700 the name was being used as a first name in that family and families descended from it - including girls.
Preston makes me think of the Scarvo twins in Desperate Houeswives - Porter and Preston, with siblings Parker and Penny.
Of those boys' names I certainly like Preston best.
