The name "Battler" is so non-standard its ungendered (and we know as much, Because Battler basically has to explain it to everyone he meets). Hence it does not preclude it as a name for anyone. Its just as strange on a male as it is on a female. We're just so used to it in a male we don't notice.

Second: why you previously state that "it can only be Jessica"? There is absolutely no proof that it must be someone of the persons we already know. Knox rules do not prevent it. This Battler might be someone else or most probably he died.
Don't confuse the distinction to the statement. I said "the only relevant person in the island where such a birthday applies is (as) a person with the same age: Jessica".

Derived through process of elimination. If there are only two choices, and choice A is wrong, then the correct choice is B. This does not preclude an unknown choice C (a person which has never been introduced) which would skew the entire theory, but that is basically going into "later queen" territory, as stated by Ryukishi. A devil's proof. A logical conundrum. You cannot disprove a negative. (which is why the Red Truth was needed in the first place). So yes, while positing unknown Battler-named person X is possible, its not really helpful in counting or discounting anything, as far as it goes. I would think the game made us used to that at this point.

Third: there is absolutely no relation to Beatrice. Your whole theory can work regardless of Jessica being Beatrice. Even assuming that what you say it's true, Beatrice could be someone else who knows the story. Which means 07151129 is not an hint that Jessica is Beatrice. At best it is an hint that Jessica is "Battler".
Of course the single point is not definitive. All of this is circumstantial. But what it shows is that 07151129, a number almost certainly related to a crime scene, is related to a person with a birthdate of 07/15 (if the "birthday" theory is true). Therefore, anyone with this birthdate is in some way related to a murder. That's pretty much all that the hint is. If Jessica actually related to 07/15, then she is, by extension, related to a murder (whether through her past, or motivations, or whatever), and adds to her suspicion as a suspect.
