I've read that play and seen the movie, how the heck did I not get that reference! I simply must find out where he got the names, I love trivia stuff like that. I bet it's simply scandalous in true Wilde fashion.
I started a list of names that remind me of food or food textures after I responded to your post, I could share it with you if you like. I need help finding partners for the crunchy vegetable names.
I have a feeling I am going to end up with a lot of pets with nice human names because my chances of my having lots of kids and staying sane is not good.
