[Opinions] Re: Benson or Finton?.....

I really dislike names which sound much more like a surname than a forename, except when a family surname is used as a middle name. I think both Finton and Benson do sound more surnamey, but of the two I prefer Finton. Saying this I do quite like Byron because of the poet.
There are many definite forenames which end in a -en/-on sound, such as
Simon
Simeon
Faolan (which could use the nn Finn)
Anton
Brian
Christian
Ciaran
Cameron
Darren
Dylan
Euan/ Ewan
Ian
Jonathon
Sebastian
Stephen
Tristan
Vivian
Or even Fionn, which I really like as a fn in its own right.

Good luck!
