Not my favorite, but I don’t think it’s awful. Can’t think of any good nicknames for it though.

Kingston is the capital of the Australian South Pacific Territory of Norfolk Island. The vice-regal, legislative, administrative and judicial offices are all located in Kingston. The town is the second-oldest in Australia, founded a little over a month after Sydney.
Honestly, this name isn’t a name I would pick. It doesn’t sound that bad though, it’s just that the association with King makes it pretentious and surnamey. It’s not a horrible name, I’m in the minority.
Pretty bad, I see many modern names have a -ton ending, basically like the -den trend. Though I like one name with that ending, don't judge me please.

In 2018, 2 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Kingston who is registered male with the Social Security Administration. It is the 3, 160th most common male first name for living U.S. citizens.

Kingston Jamaica anyone? Lots of cities in the world have the name Kingston. It’ll be awkward indeed to see a boy named Kingston.
Kingston is a city-town, and that is one of the reasons for why I do not like Kingston as someone's name. Plus, it just sounds tacky and pretentious. Come'on, King?! KINGsTON?

For the comment above saying Kingston is a city-town, Sofia is the name of a city. Does that make Sofia a bad name?
My baby brother's name is Kingston and it fits his personality well and sounds nice.

Kingston is a name of a city where I do all of my shopping. It is not a name to me. Kingston sounds like something a teen or child would choose.

It's disgusting how much this name shot up in popularity after some dumb 'celebrity' used it. Honestly, how many celebrities really give their children good names anymore? If anything, people should be naming their children after family members or someone they admire, not some washed up singer's baby. This name sounds horribly pretentious and tacky anyways. And it's a place in Jamaica. Not that there's anything wrong with Jamaica, this just sounds horrible as a first name.

It is a guilty pleasure of mine. I like it, but it sounds kind of weird as a name.
