It's really hilarious that the producers of Evangelion have never internalized the fact that calling a single person "a children" in English is just wrong, and not a "stylistic choice"https://twitter.com/amandawinnlee/status/1376266147750797312?s=19 …
Thinking about this a little more: 1) Rei legitimately literally is more than one person (she's one of many clones Gendo created of Shinji's mom and every time she dies a new clone is activated and assumes her identity)

2) In the original ending of Evangelion, Shinji's conversation with his hallucination of Misato has her tell him there's more than one of him, too, and indeed more than one of everyone (because we all interact with an imaginary version of the people we know inside our heads)

But none of this is actually anything the people at NERV who came up with the title "First Children", "Second Children", etc would have any reason to think about or know about
