The egg celebrations and the Easter name both predate Christian usage, from all that I've read.

I wasn't kidding about Ishtar eggs and bunny rabbits as fertility pagan symbols. The point I was making is that to PO Christians over Easter (named for the pagan goddess Ishtar) may be silly, but it is religious discrimination favoring paganism over Christianity, what little of it there is on Easter anyway.
