I see no justifiable basis to discuss the origins of Esther and 
Mordechai basied on such flimsy parallels. 

That's about as logical as suggesting that Tobias reminds me of 
Moby which was a whale so you must be a whale named Robinson
(which is also nearly identical to Robison). There's just no
substantial basis.
