using Preston (or a form of) for a girl name????

sniderbaby · June 2009

A family name on my husband's side is Preston. We knew we wanted to incorporate this name with our second child. Since we found out we are having a girl, we have been trying to decide how to use it. Right now, our girl name choice is:

Pressley Kathryn

I am still not opposed to actually using Preston as a middle name and coming up with a girly first name.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I'd vote for using Preston as a middle name over using Presley spelled Pressley as a first name. I really don't care for that spelling.

agreed with PPs. Choose a nice girly name and go with Preston as the middle name. Pressley is not good nor does it really pay homage to the name Preston IMHO.

I would go for the middle name option.

Definitely mn Preston. I am super not a fan of Pressley, especially with that spelling. As a mn, it's fine.

I really don't like that spelling of Pressley.

Presley is not the same as Preston. Much as I am not a fan of boy's names for a girl, Preston would work as a middle name. Kathryn Preston sounds just fine.

What about Kathryn Pressley? I would use Pressley as a middle name. I don't care for Preston for a girl.?

I like both Preston and Pressley for a first or middle name.

mybobble · July 2009

I'd use it as a mn.

Kathryn Presley sounds nice. I don't like the extra s though.

Pressley is nms. I would go with Preston as a middle name if I HAD to choose one or the other but personally, I don't think Preston is a good girls name at all, first or middle.

Is the extra 's' a typo? I truly hope so

I do not like Preston for a girl, maybe as a mn with a feminine fn

I do very much like Presley spelled properly though, and I like Katherine as a mn too

Please, please, please spell it Presley Katherine though

I like Pressley and I also like it spelled like that! I was trying to pick a name for our little girl and I had a ton of people on this board comment on the way I spelled Pressley too. Preston to me sounds like a boy name.
