This is so cool. I like it on either sex, really.

Kind of unique and uncommon, and I like how it has its own meaning, without having to be a form of any other name.

Also used in Romania: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_Bentoiu

Sounds like Rascal. I don't like it.

I strongly wonder why this is supposed to be a girls' name in Chile. I mean, it sounds horrible on a girl!

I had a really annoying teacher with this name, one of the reasons why I don't like it. It also sounds very unattractive.

Very artistic, because of the meaning and history, and also because it sounds like pastel (I also think of crayons as being linked with creativity, for pretty much the same reason lol, something I often get stuck on).

I was given this name by my mother who told me I was born on a Sunday and it was close to Easter. I tell you, I got some stick at school in England having this name, in Ireland it was regarded as a normal name. And the thing is, I have never met a Pascal in England, but have met several in Ireland. It is gaining in popularity and I am glad of this, I am proud to bear this name as I have done for the 62 years I have been on this planet.

More fitting for a dog, in my opinion.

If I ever have a boy of my own I'm pretty sure if not definite that I'm going to name him Pascal :)

Although the related word paschal rhymes with rascal, the name Pascal does not. It is accented on the second syllable.

Pascal is such a laid-back name. It's not obnoxious, but it doesn't seem like the name of someone who doesn't care about the world. I think of a Pascal as one of those quiet people who end up absorbing so much more in life.
I don't like how it rhymes with rascal, but it's still a great name.

My cousin just had a son named Pascal, we call him Pax.

Pascal is the main character in the 1956 film The Red Balloon (Le Ballon Rouge). Director Albert Lamorrisse's own son and daughter, Pascal and Sabine, acted in the film.

Pascal sounds like such a lovely name to me. I'm not sure if I'd name my kid Pascal, but most definitely a character in a story, and maybe even a pet.

Jean Lefebvre has a son Pascal.

Pascal Obispo is a singer/composer in France, and has made lots of great music, and his live performance is thrilling to watch.

Interesting that the first name and last name combined, it is an anagram of "Pablo Picasso".

I quite like the name Pascal, but I find the wording of the meaning very odd - it makes it sound like Pesach is an old holiday that isn't celebrated anymore instead of a Torah holiday celebrated to this day by modern Jews and Noachides alike. [noted -ed]

I really like this name. I think it's strong, unusual, and has a great meaning behind it. I would certainly consider it for a son.

I named my dog Pascal. It's a nice, soft name that would go well with gentle people.
