Why are the main characters of Amagi Brilliant Park named after singers?
My guess is that the author enjoys punny/goofy name schemes. The part-time workers hired by Kanie are named Eiko Adachi, Biino Bandou, and Shiina Chuujou-- A, B, and C. (More obvious in Japanese where their family names would be written first.)

And senshin is right-- Kurisu Takaya is a near-direct transliteration of "Chris Tucker". (Fun fact, a similar gag is used in Steins;Gate for the character Kurisu Makise; she often gets called "Christina"/Kurisu-tina.)
