I would name them Damien Alexander and Anthony William.
My wife put a lot of thought into these. Three syllables in the first names, which easily flow into the middle name (consonant-to-vowel and vowel-to-consonant). She looked up the meanings (Damien: to tame, subdue; Alexander: conqueror. Anthony's meaning is unknown, but William means "strong-willed warrior").
If I didn't have to get my wife's approval, I would have named my sons Cosmas and Damian. Or perhaps Chrysogonus and Ignatius.

I plan on naming my son Jareth after the Goblin King in Labyrinth, the only people who would know he is named after that would be people that have seen the movie religiously.
Wither Alexander, Gabriel, Michael, Frank, Peter, Clark, Bartholomew, or possibly....

The very first thing I thought, bizarrely, was Tiberius. Nothing should really have provoked that instinctive response, but that's what avalanched upon my thoughts when I read the question.
I probably wouldn't, but I suppose it does sound quite good, nicknames easily, difficult to make a joke out of (unless you consider the name itself to be the joke, which idiots at his school will do). Yeah how about that.
Oh wait, I remember why it jumped into my brain. He was the emperor of Rome when Jesus was sent before Pontious Pilate. I read it a couple of days ago on Wikipedia. Odd mechanisms my brain has. He was quite a complex and more interesting Roman Emperor if that helps. Quite a reluctant emperor, but a very able general. His reign ended quite abysmally sadly, in part due to the death of his son.
Anyhow, I'd be as indecisive as you ultimately, so I'm sorry I can't be of much help. I might choose something from the Lord of the Rings, that isn't too abstract and is easy to spell, but not related to the films so much as to elicit ridicule (Frodo being an obvious example).
Only maybe though, since those requirements are a bit steep to meet and have any significance. They're all hard to nickname too, not that that's a necessity.
Edit: Samuel, in honour of Terry Pratchett and Samuel Vimes. This appeals me ^_^
If your last name is Rodríguez; Bender Bending.

OT:
I dont actualy have any good sugestions for a name but i do have a suggestion for helping pick a name. See if it rhymes with something insulting like a swear word. if it does cross the name off the list. dont pick a strange or extravagant name such as Lucian.
