Children
In the Japanese dialogue for the original anime, the Eva pilots were always referred to as "Children," even when referring to an individual pilot. The English translation referred to the individual pilots as First Child, etc. In the Rebuild of Evangelion series, the expression "(n)th Children" is not used. Instead, the pilots are referred to as Ichibanme no tekikakusha (一番目の適格者?, "The First Qualified Person/Candidate") Dai Ichi no Shōjo (第一の少女?, "First Girl"), Sanninme no kodomo (三人目の子供?, "Third Child"), or Dai San no Shōnen (第三の少年?, "Third Boy").

Famous quotes containing the word children:
“Oh, what a tangled web do parents weave/When they think that their children are naive.”

All the little boys and girls,
With rosy cheeks and flaxen curls,
And sparkling eyes and teeth like pearls,
Tripping and skipping, ran merrily after
The wonderful music with shouting and laughter.”

those trances and portents!
As if cycles and children and islands
weren’t enough; as if mourners and gossips
and vegetables were never enough.”
