Theodore goes better (closer-sounding ending, which is what my parents did for me and my sisters), and it's just a nicer combo. I love the nickname Theo as well, and Daniel is one of my favourite boy names.
I don't think Theodore sounds nerdy at all - I think it's a bit of a classic waiting for a revival. If anything it's Damien that has the negative connotations, because of
The Omen.
