Preston
Britney Spears put this old-fashioned surname name back on the map when she chose it as her son Sean's middle name, which the family uses as his first.
One of the most popular names of its genre, Preston is now at Number 137, having been in the Top 200 since 1994. It's been heard on such TV shows as "Desperate Housewives," "Grey's Anatomy" and "The Wire." The most memorable bearer of the name is probably Preston Sturges (born Edmund), one of the leading screwball comedy writer/directors of Hollywood's Golden Age.
