It depends...is she going to be a rabbit?

siblingrevelryagain · 28/04/2014 22:19

EverybodysStressyEyed · 28/04/2014 22:19

and a lifetime of saying 'no not Esther, Easter....yes, Easter, as in the crucifixion of Christ.....like the Islands.....E A S T E R.....yes that is my first name.....'

phalanges · 28/04/2014 22:20

No, no, no.

oohdaddypig · 28/04/2014 22:21

Oh please, no.

Smartiepants79 · 28/04/2014 22:21

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

ArfurFoulkesayke · 28/04/2014 22:21

No.

silasramsbottom · 28/04/2014 22:22

What Everybodys said!

LittleBearPad · 28/04/2014 22:23

Going to agree with everyone above. It's a shocker

nicename · 28/04/2014 22:24

I'd like to hear the rationale behind it.

stiffstink · 28/04/2014 22:24

Try Esther instead.

badtime · 28/04/2014 22:27

Pascal (m) or Pascale (f) are traditional French names for Easter babies. Much nicer.

heather1 · 28/04/2014 22:29

No I don't think so. Would you call your child Whitsun or Ascension Sunday or Lent? Esther is a lovely name though

MoominAndMiniMoom · 28/04/2014 22:29

Yeah it's beautiful. Classic, innit.

YouAreMyRain · 28/04/2014 23:44

No

What about Oestre? (Pagan version)

mathanxiety · 29/04/2014 01:20

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

Or go for Pascal or Pascale/Pasquale.

mathanxiety · 29/04/2014 01:22

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.
