Need MAJOR help w/ boys name

Hi, I'm new here. We are due July 28th with our second child - a boy. We are having the HARDEST time trying to name this little darling. Here is some info:
-Our last name is Italian -starts with a "D", ends in "O"
-My name is Sherri Marie
-My husband is Dominic Albert
-Our daughter is Lola Mary
-We are going to use "Daniel" for a mn - after my brother who passed away so I'm not really willing to budge on this although his father recently passed and he wanted to use something to honor his father in either the 1st or middle name, however his name was "Aniello" and there is just NO WAY we are using that
-I'm not really fond of Italian boy names so although my hubby tried to push this issue I think I got him to back off

My pick was "Simon" but he just isn't going for it. He is now suggesting "Tyler" and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I just need some opinions and help from this board - you seem like experts at this!!! Obviously any 1st name starting w/ a "D" is out b/c the mn and ln both will both start w/ "D" (...and do you think I should reconsider the middle name? It would break my heart and I thought we could make it work w/ a good first name but it just isn't happening for us.)

We like boys names that aren't too feminine sounding and that aren't too common.

THANKS!!!

Sherri
