What can I call DS2?

I'm really struggling to find a suitable name for DS2 because our surname is Jones and all of the names I like have some sort of Jones related issue with them or DH who has very tradditional taste doesn't like them.

If our surname wasn't Jones then I would use Joseph, but I think Joe Jones is just too alliterative. I have also discounted James and Joshua for the same reason.

I also like the names Tom, Alex and Peter, but of course there is Tom Jones, Alex Jones (not that famous but not sure I can give DS the same name as a female TV presenter, what if she hangs around forever?). Peter Jones isn't as bad, but as well as the dragon there is the shop.

Anyway I was wondering if anyone can help, keeping in mind DH's fairly boring taste.

Thank you for all the suggestions will definitely keep them in mind, although quite a few won't as quite a large proportion of DH's family already have dibs. I don't think there will be any decision making until he arrives though, it feels odd to try and name someone I haven't met yet!
