Behind the Name: Comments for the name Earnest

Comments for EARNEST:

Famous from the Oscar Wilde play "The Importance of Being Earnest".

Actually, this variant of the name was not popularised by the Oscar Wilde play The Importance Of Being Earnest. Though the play revolves around the name Ernest, this spelling is used only in the title and the last line of the play, in which it is used as an adjective and not a name.
