Sir Nicholas Winton - British stockbroker who organised the kindertransport which saved mainly Jewish children from Czechoslovakia and Austria after Kristallnacht.
I prefer it spelled Wenton. I met someone named Winton, though and I'll never forget him not only because he was a very amazing individual, but because of his name. I think if you want to use a unique name, this is definitely one to consider.

Tim Winton (born 4 August 1960) is an Australian novelist and short story writer.
I don't really see this as a first name because I've seen it used too often as a surname. My boyfriend's middle name is Winton; he said it was a name that ran in the family. It's very formal and almost regal sounding but I quite like it.
