[Algernon.] Besides, your name isn’t Jack at all; it is Ernest. Jack. It isn’t Ernest; it’s Jack.

Algernon. You have always told me it was Ernest. I have introduced you to every one as Ernest. You answer to the name of Ernest. You look as if your name was Ernest. You are the most earnest-looking person I ever saw in my life. It is perfectly absurd your saying that your name isn’t Ernest. . . .

Jack. Well, my name is Ernest in town and Jack in the country, and the cigarette case was given to me in the country.

–The Importance of Being Earnest,
Oscar Wilde
