No way!

Why would you really?

You could stick it in the middle?

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

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.

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

No.No.No and Noooo.

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

RiverTam · 29/04/2014 10:55

for what it's worth - no.

Ella damn you for besting me on beat the lyric!

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?

AttilaTheMeerkat · 29/04/2014 10:57

No. A bad and mad idea.

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

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.
