Toby....what?

Hi. We have decided on Toby for our boy. Now we need a middle name. I am swaying towards Felix. We have a two syllable surname starting with a 'C'. I also like this because when I asked our two year old daughter to say 'Toby Felix' she said 'Tofi' (Toffee) which I thought was a cute nickname!

I don't want anything traditional for middle so James, Jack, Frederick etc are out.
Can anyone suggest some fun but not too try-hard middle names as an alternative to Felix or shall we just go with it?
Thanks.

Felix, or most of the suggestions above would avoid too much of a Thomas the Tank Engine feel to Toby!

But lovely name, I know a Toby Rex.

My youngest is Felix Leon (wish I had gone with Leo) - nearly went with Toby :-) Great name and Felix works so well with a baby/toddler, if you are worried about the cat thing, don't! People don't think that when they meet my son and it is such a great name - unusual enough, but easy to pronounce and spell and comes without any baggage that more common names have.
