Which was named after Blaise Pascal, the French mathematician.

But OP is not asking about naming OP's son Pascal. OP is asking about naming OP's daughter Pascale.

That's like saying that Paula seems masculine for a girl. Or Georgia. Or Antoinette.


NP here, but I disagree. Those names don't sound a thing like Pascale. The name lean masculine to my ear too, whereas, Anotoinette for instance sounds very feminine.


I vote for Pascalette.


Please let this be the new Larla!

Pascal (boy), Pascale (girl).
Paul (boy), Paula (girl).
George (boy), Georgia (girl).
Antoine (boy), Antoinette (girl).

I don't know where the idea came from that all girl names must end in -a.
