^This is correct.
A から B
B because A
Basically 'ask/tell me because I'll listen'.

Common? No. In use? Yes. For how long? My knowledge of Japanese history does not extend long enough for me to really know.
I am not aware of any special designation given to these names. I suppose they are a form of 'wordplay' (言葉遊び）but I can't think of anything more specific than that.
