What the hell kind of name is Crumpet?

ED-209

On Elf the main female says

“Did Crumpet put you up to this?”

what kind of nickname is Crumpet? Is he British and it’s some kind of ribbing about that?
 
Considering that actual North Pole elves we see in Elf have names like "Pom Pom," "Ming Ming," and "Foom Foom," "Crumpet" is pretty normal. It's also probably a nod to David Sedaris' essay "Santaland Diaries," where he spent a holiday season working as "Crumpet," one of Santa's elves at Macy's in New York City.
