Easter baby boy - name suggestions?

[LaTristesse]

Hi there,

So we know he's a boy, and we suspect he'll be joining us around Easter. Does anyone have any interesting thematic name suggestions. We're not religious but are happy to consider biblical names, although Judas might be pushing it!

Thank you!

Pascal means Easter child - also can be Pascoe - or Chaim (pronounced Heim with a kind of pflegmy start) - meaning new life.

Anastas = Resurrection (ish) Bit of a long shot, maybe

Christopher, love this with the nickname Kit.

Simon (as in Simon from Cyrene, the one who offers to carry Jesus' cross)

Christos Anesti is the greek for Christ is risen - you could use either part for inspriation. Or just go with Christian?
Anything with a renewal theme would work: Neo?
I like Pascal but would avoid Pasquale unless you're a big fan of Joe...

are you in Spain at all? Jesus is quite common over there

Rene.

If it has to be Easter oriented, how about Pascal?

Thanks for all your suggestions - I'm liking Neo, Jojojoy! I think my overly religious mother would think I was taking the piss if I went for Jesus! (Almost worth doing!)
