Thumbs up! I went through a period where I really liked the name Easter, actually. It's awesome as a mn. Jane Easter would be so so great. That needs to happen.

Jane Easter is super cute. The only problem is just that - it's super cute. A baby named Jane Easter would be adorable, but how well would it age? I've heard of some people using Esther as a Easter-soundalike - Jane Esther would be just as charming and not quite so cutesy. Or Jane Catherine Esther... or you could consider Pascale too.

but I like Easter as well. I love that line in the Sheryl Crow song: "he's got a daugheter he calls Easter, she was born on a Tuesday night."

You know, I think that would be really nice!

I've been thinking Easter was an incredibly sweet name lately, especially since learning that an ancestor of mine had a sister named Easter. Seeing it amongst more traditional names like John and Martha brought out a sweetly classic feel. It also of course has a great connection. I think it'd be great as a middle name! Jane Easter or Jane Catherine Easter are both gorgeous.

I prefer Pascale for an Easter related name.

She also had an aunt named Philadelphia(it was used as a name since ancient times).

No reason why not!
Also, you might like Pascale, same meaning.(I'm pretty sure, but open to correction. )

I like Jane Catherin Easter it has a good flow.

I definatly wouldnt use it as a first name.

I'd have to go with Jane Easter, although I'd just as soon use Esther instead.
