Why is Thom Thom?
Why can't he be Tom? Is it to add a air of mystery,interest and suspence?

It's the only thing interesting about him in any way, so you might as well let him have it.

As it is usually short for Thomas, perhaps more Toms should be Thom in terms of spelling?

And what would an American make of it given that they pronounce Anthony without the hard 't' in the middle...?
