If a theory has arbitrarily large finite nonrigid models, expand its language by a unary function f, axiomatize that f is an automorphism, require f to move some element, and add sentences demanding at least n elements for every n. Every finite fragment has a sufficiently large finite nonrigid model, so compactness supplies an infinite nonrigid model.
