I was thinking about this name yesterday after pondering how
Sylvester is not seen as a real name by some people due to the "New Year's
Eve" connection, and trying to think of an English equivalent.
Easter and
Christmas are both holiday-names that someone might think are never given to real people.
I like
Easter. It's sunny and cheery. I like that it's technically a goddess name, if you trace the etymology back! Ostara is quite lovely too. I love these tricksy hyper-Christian names that are actually pagan in disguise ;) Also I just thought of the idea of calling an
Easter "
Bunny" as a nickname and that made me laugh.
Huh! Yes, I actually quite like this name! I'd love to meet one.
