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?

I’m not against it. It’s my father’s family’s surname. I don’t like it as a first name personally but each to their own 😊

Pascoe is actually a nice name. It's unusual without being made up and ridiculous. What would you call him for short? I would hate to give my little ones a name I can't shorten to one syllable.

Isa or Issa is another name for Jesus... more Qur'anic than Biblical!

Asher and Issac are great.

TheDuchessOfBoxford · 06/03/2018 23:27

@littlemisscomper I have a really bad habit of shortening names and my other children have names that can't be shortened so we've picked a one syllable one for this one too. Pascoe a likely middle name though!

I really like Pascoe. I’ve also seen it spelled Pasco.

I know a woman named Easter. I think it could work for either sex.

I was working at Cadburys when I got pregnant with my daughter and always thought that Bournville would be a nice name for a boy.

Alternatively Bunny, Buck, Digger, Thumper are all good rabbit themed name.

How about other chocolate bar names: Mars, Galaxy, ?

Anastasious means resurrection
