Kingston?

What do people think of this name? Is it popular?

I love it!

Screams trendy to me. I’ve known 2 baby girls with the name and also a 3 year old boy. Also I met a [name]Kingsley[/name] (girl) last year. Definitely popular where I’m from.

I don’t like it at all. It just strikes me as another variant of the endless random-surname-as-first-name trend.

I like [name]Kingston[/name] (for a boy) but I like [name]Kingsley[/name] more. (Also for a boy). They have some history of use and bug me less than most other surnames do. I guess you could also count [name]Kingston[/name] as a place name… for good or for bad.

I probably wouldn’t use them myself but they don’t bother me. I don’t like many K names for boys and these are better than many.

Immediately after hearing it I want to say [name]Jamaica[/name].

It strikes me as trendy. I like it as a word, but not as name.

Yes. It feels VERY trendy to me!

Its all place name to me. I can’t picture it as a name on a person. [name]Kingsley[/name] works better in my opinion. But even then, I am not a fan.

I like [name]Kingston[/name] but it’s only a guilty pleasure name. It’s not it the top 100 so it’s not really that popular.

I really like it, trendy or not! Sounds really cool to me.

It sounds like a celebrity baby name.

I’ve never heard it used as a name, other than [name]Gwen[/name] [name]Stefani[/name]'s son.
