Best Answer

Oberon is named after a character in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Oberon was the King of the Fairies. Oberon asked Puck to put the magicaal juice of his wife, Titania's eyelids, so that when she awoke, she fell in love with the first person she saw, a weaver called Nick Bottom who, at the time has the head of a donkey.
