Also, Theodore will now always be a squeaky cartoon chipmunk.

Joseph by a mile.
Theodore reminds me of the chipmunk in the cartoon.

Oh a tough one.
My brother is Joseph.
My son is Theodore.

You can't go wrong with either fine name!

Joseph is gorgeous but I have nephew Theo and it really suits him too.

Joseph. You can't move for Theodores round here.
