I need a name that is not Thomas or any variant of Thomas that "Tom" could still be used as a nickname for. Mythological names are preferred. The more usual, the better.
We call my father Tom sometimes, but our surname is Thompson so...that's probably not useful, considering it's a variation of son of Thomas. There's not really many names with Tom in, but there are a lot of variations of Thomas that don't look like Thomas?
If it's for a character, name the character something completely different and just have them randomly nicknamed Tom for some childhood antic. If it's a girl it could be because she used to be a tomboy. If it's a boy, give him a first name he hated and have him decide to rename himself Tom.
I mean there are ways around using Tom without it being the official name. That's my suggestion, because I can't think of a name that fits those perimeters.

Maybe Thomar. It's Australian Aboriginal, means river.

Also anything that's usually "dom" could be skewed over, like Tominic or something.
