My friend's sister named her baby boy Orion about eight years ago, but I haven't heard it anywhere else. I have to say that I thought it was a little weird at the time, but it has grown on me. I can certainly see the appeal of the mythological hunter and the constellation named after him. I also like that it leaves open the option of Ryan as a nn if he ever thinks that Orion is "too weird."
I think Orion Thomas sounds great! Not one that I would use personally, but it's a cool, strong name, IMO.

My third son is Orion Jacob. I love the name. I actually get more flak from most my family for his middle name than his his first, as it is so popular, but he was named after a grandfather, so what can you do? I will tell you that people in doctor's offices and such will say OR-ee-un. I don't get that at all, and that caught me by surprise the first few times, but it has happened quite a bit now. And of course most strangers will think his name is Ryan when you say it.
When I was naming my son, I got pretty negative feedback from this board, so it looks like it is gaining a little more acceptance now.
