Pascal

[MamaLoLo1]

What are your thoughts on this name? For a boy. Thanks in advance!

Nice, but almost stereotypically French sounding (reminds me of my school French textbooks!). Do you have French heritage?

I don't know any. I do know a Pascale, who chooses to go by her middle name...
The name reminds me of my French GCSE listening exams: Pascal is a gravelly voiced 63 year old man, with a cough, who needs something for his sore throat from the pharmacy.

He is the scallop obsessed otter from animal Crossing cute name though no negative connections unless you count him robbing you of your scallops and swapping them for random shoes and dresses

He's the chameleon in Tangled. I have a cuddly one next to my bed

Yep, there's a French link... I like it because it's easily said and recognised in English as well as French.

pascal... i dont like it.

In Ireland, Pascal is not chic and French. There’s a doleful RTE news reporter called Pascal Sheehy who is so often talking to camera in wellies. in a flood or rainstorm that he’s generally known as Plastic Sheeting.

I’d class it with Noel as a name.

I like it a lot.

I’d class it with Noel as a name.

Me too, though mainly because they mean Easter and Christmas respectively.

I like it but I think itd be quite hard to carry off tbh.

I have a female Pascale. Same as you OP, we're in a French /English environment.

Works well and suits her. Another bonus is that there are not many Pascale's of her age, which I prefer.

I love it!! Great name

I knew a boy at school with this as his surname. But I like surnames as first names.

I love it, partly because of the Animal Crossing link! Lovely laid back pearl gifting otter!

Thanks all, a generally good/positive response 🙂

I love it!

I love it. I knew a lovely little Pascal

Not a fan sorry. I know two Pascals, one of whom is French and the other is English. Both very nice people though!

Unpleasant! Sounds like lobsters broiling in a pot.

Makes me think of the unit of measurement.

It's fine. Just don't call his sister Ada.

I have a girl Pascale, I obviously love the name for a boy or girl. I thought it was a really uncommon name, but I’ve heard of a few baby Pascale’s in our area recently

Reminds me of school physics lessons

I like it.

Makes me think of the mathemattician Blaise Pascal, but that's perhaps a bit niche! 😁

The name means 'born at Easter' which could be cute for a spring baby. Although it could lead to the nickname "scally"...
