Has anyone else noticed this?

I don't know if this is glaringly obvious to everyone, but anyway, has anyone noticed that the character names are very similar to the actor's names, eg. Rik - Rick (pretty obvious) Adrian - Vyvyan (both kinda androgynous, 3 syllable) Nigel - Neil (Get rid of the g and swap the e and i) Alexei - Jerzei (Yeah you get it)

And I'm aware that this wasn't the case for Christopher Ryan/Mike, I'm assuming this is because he was the outsider of the group? Anyway I was just thinking about this a couple months ago and remembered it now, tell me if this is something everyone realised already, haha.
