Looking for a boys name to match my daughters name. Maybe something quite old fashioned with a quirky nickname? TIA

Theodore but Theo for short.
I think Effie and Theo sound great together.

We settled as soon as I found out we had conceived that if this one was a boy (which he is) he would be a Felix, which I think is very cute :)

I love Basil and Wilbur though!!
