Easter name for a boy

[TheDuchessOfBoxford]

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?

Oops gift from God not god's

Theodore means gift from god too (as does Dorothy / Dorothea).

I do like Nathaniel (and Nate) and hadn't realised it meant 'god has given'.

May not be your thing if bible names aren't but nice names anyway.

How about Parsifal ( Parzival, Percival). The opera Parsifal has lots of Easter significance.

Yes ifDS turns out to be DD you could have Saffron (trad Easter cake!)

Vernon for the vernal (spring) equinox, pagan festival Ostara, if he's a bit early (20th March).

Benedict means blessing.

Florian meaning growth and renewal.

If he is born on Easter Sunday you could go for Domingo? Or Dominic.

Tobias.. Toby also means gift from God as does Jonathan.. Jonny

Eggsy like the guy from kingsmen

Thanks everyone - I think Pascoe is the main contender. We have no Cornish connections though - is it weird to choose it?

I think it's nice to have a traditional British name even though you don't have a connection to Cornwall. As its his middle name it doesn't matter if it's a bit unusual. You might have to take a family holiday to Cornwall one day when he's older, ideally at Easter time.

Bartholomew was also know as Nathaniel which means gift from god

We have a child with an Irish middle name despite having no Irish connection.

Slightly off at a tangent but Pascal made me think of Pascal's triangle. Brilliant mathematician and his first name was Blaise.

Harvey (Rabbit link).😄

Asher
Neo
Xavier
Christopher
Raphael
Caldwell (cold Spring)
Kelby

Not weird at all to choose Pascoe if you like it. Many of us have names which originated in a country or region we're not connected to.

My DC have Jewish and African names. We are neither Jewish nor African

Pascoe's great.
Alvern means spring...
So does Lennor
March

Osiris
Egyptian king who died and is resurrected

Pascoe is very much a surname where I’m from?

asher meaning new beginning

Bugs

Chuck (chick chick chick chiiiiiicken....!)

@Backtoblack1

Pascoe is a Cornish first name (it's the Cornish version of Pascal) which also became a surname.

Personally I think it's a good, underused name and am glad OP's considering it.
