In 2025, 33 babies in England and Wales were named Winston. In the US, 785 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Winston was most common in 1940, when it went to 0.03% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
