I think the fork key's comes from the use of "fork" fingerings where non-adjacent fingers are the only ones covering holes. Now why that's a fork, I don't really know.
It's also called the sliver key (cause it looks like a little sliver) or a banana key (cause it's curved like a banana).
The ring keys on the clarinet are called "Brille" in German, which translates as eyeglasses!
