I spotted it recently on a very old grave in the grounds of Southwell Minster, and thought it unusual. Esther is such a lovely name it would be a shame to pick something novelty seasonal over it.

It has history as a name, I have seen it from the early seventeenth century onwards (historian).
I wouldn't use it myself though.

AttilaTheMeerkat · 29/04/2014 10:57

No. A bad and mad idea.

RoadToTuapeka · 29/04/2014 10:56

I agree with everyone else - it's an awful name for an actual human! Maybe okay for a pet rabbit?

TSSDNCOP · 29/04/2014 10:56

Ella damn you for besting me on beat the lyric!

RiverTam · 29/04/2014 10:55

for what it's worth - no.

TSSDNCOP · 29/04/2014 10:55

Not unless you're a salesman in a Sheryl Cole song. Otherwise it's all about what Everybody says up there ^^

RabbitPies · 29/04/2014 10:54

No.No.No and Noooo.

GiveTwoSheets · 29/04/2014 10:53

Just think of all the personalised gifts you could by in April!

yourlittlesecret · 29/04/2014 10:53

Bunny.

ErrolTheDragon · 29/04/2014 10:52

Nope. It's a religious festival. Not a person.

But named after a 'person' - Eostre. But I don't think that name would work well nowadays either. Too like oestrogen.

"He's got a daughter he calls Easter ... she was born on a Tuesday night ..." lalalalalala. Grin

meditrina · 29/04/2014 10:51

You could stick it in the middle?

ohdearitshappeningtome · 29/04/2014 10:50

Why would you really?

kittensarecute · 29/04/2014 10:48

No way!

funnyoldonion · 29/04/2014 10:46

Awful

Sorry, Pascal would be for a boy and you have a girl..

I almost gave DD1 the MN of Pascale as she was due on Easter Sunday.

mathanxiety · 29/04/2014 01:20

Anastasia means Resurrection, which is the whole point of Easter.

Or go for Pascal or Pascale/Pasquale.

YouAreMyRain · 28/04/2014 23:44

No

What about Oestre? (Pagan version)

MoominAndMiniMoom · 28/04/2014 22:29

Yeah it's beautiful. Classic, innit.
