Easter name for a boy

Our DS is due on Easter Sunday and whilst he might not make this exact date, we are looking for an Easter inspired middle name.

Our other children have quite unusual middle names that have a reason behind them so we'd like to keep up the tradition we've started!

So what Easter suggestions are there - however tenuous it might be?

James, son of Zebedee

John, brother of James, son of Zebedee

Philip

Bartholomew

Thomas

Matthew

James, son of Alphaeus

Judas Thaddeus, also known as Jude

Simon the Zealot, also known as Simon the Canaanite
Judas Iscariot
Matthias (not an original apostle and is a replacement for Judas Iscariot after the betrayal of Jesus.)

Renato. Means reborn or risen again in Italian and Spanish.

IVflytrap · 03/03/2018 00:14

Pascoe. It's Cornish and means Easter.

SuperBeagle · 03/03/2018 00:18

Peter, as in Peter Faberge, who created the Faberge eggs for the Romanov family.

But Pascal is definitely an obvious one.

Hugh no idea way but that is what I thought of.
Sorry,

Mrsknackered · 03/03/2018 00:22

Creme (pronounced Crem)

littlemisscomper · 03/03/2018 00:25

Benedict (as in eggs) Grin

littlemisscomper · 03/03/2018 00:27

Warren (as in rabbits) Grin

Cruz means cross (a Beckham connection though)
Peter (Apostle and Rabbit)
Ash (Wednesday)
Pascal is the obvious one, or another of the Apostles

Dismas
Cornelius

I really like Pascoe - never heard of this before

I'm definitely fan of the more commercial side of Easter suggestions - like Hunter or any rabbit links! Egbert could be a tad too far though Grin

The Bible names, although obviously Easter, are not my thing

Ash is similar to the first name we've picked
(wel one of the first names - shortlist of 3 at the moment)

Peter also means “rock” or “stone”in Aramaic, somsnothet Eastery link to Peter.

My original thought was Pascal, but I like the Cornish version, Pascoe, better.
