I don't think the link between old testament and myrtus is strained.

1) Eshter's born name is Hadassah, which means myrtle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther#Origin_and_meaning)

2) When Eshter asked the king if Jews can kill their enemies, king granted the permission (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=esther%208:11-8:...)

Esther was also married to a Persian King.

I also vote for a plant, as the second mentioned name is Guava and there is

"The Chilean Guava (Ugni molinae, also called Myrtus ugni or Eugenia ugni)"

Good point. It could well be that the files are named after plants the same way some people name their servers after colors or smurfs or whatever.

In fact all Guavas are members of the Myrtle family.

He doesn't seem to make any assumptions to me. He states the known facts about it, that's all.
