Bluebird,
Didn't forget about this, just had a pretty busy week.
So I see the video you posted is "Part 1". If I remember correctly, I think you mentioned you subscribed to Rabbi Fohrman's website, Aleph Beta?
Well if you watch parts 2, 3 and 4, you'll get the answer to his question in the book in reference to naming the holiday.
I looked in the book and watched the videos. They are pretty much one in the same as he references vows, and the Book of Numbers in the Torah.
He goes on to explain how what is written in the Book of Esther is strangely similar to what is written in the Book of Numbers. The kicker is a Hebrew word that has a double verb. Not that it's remarkable it is a double verb as that is common in the Hebrew bible.
What may be remarkable though it that this particular word with its double verb is only used in 2 places within the entire Hebrew bible.
Guess where?
Yep, once in the Book of Ester and the other in the Book of Numbers which Rabbi Fohrman is referencing for the name of the holiday.
Here is a link. I think they still allow a certain amount of view time for free each month -

As for the 2nd question in reference to Mordecai and his royal clothes,, stay tuned........................
I have to look into that more. I glanced through the book to see if I could find a quick answer but I didn't find it yet.
