Your first point (the argument between Mallory and Halfborn) has merit, but the second...... similar to the gender issue of Blackjack it could be put down to author error. Again though, Estelle is not just a different name, but a very odd name.

Percy, Sally, Paul, Gabe, Rich, Jim.....the Jackson family isn't exactly on the 'interesting name' group of characters, and yet then Estelle comes in. Yes, Estelle is a unique name.... but I'm not ruling out author error as to the whole mixing up names category. He made a mistake with Blackjacks gender, who is to say he just didn't remember that he named Sally's mother Laura and then chose Estelle later? Sally's mom wasn't in any way a central character
