I know I can get the public key from cleos for a given account but is the reverse possible? Basically, I am trying to find all the account names associated with a public key.

Yes, it's possible, you can just retrieve all the accounts for a given public key running the command cleos get accounts EOS_PUB_KEY
Another way to check the accounts for a public key, from an external application, is using the EOS RPC Api, check this out: https://developers.eos.io/eosio-nodeos/reference#get_key_accounts-1

Is there a public domain I can use instead of 127.0.0.1 for xhr.open("POST", "127.0.0.1:8888/v1/history/get_key_accounts"); ? Commented Dec 13, 2018 at 18:45

I don't see a function to get all accounts but one could do:
keys=`cleos wallet keys | grep -v "[]\[]" | cut -f 2 -d "\""`; for i in $keys; do cleos get accounts $i; done– colinCommented Jan 14, 2019 at 4:49 -
this was working only with a now deprecated plugin for the node (history plugin)– colinCommented May 13, 2019 at 3:47
I implemented it using history_get_key_accounts. The history_get_key_accounts api calls to /v1/history/get_key_accounts.
Please reference the following code.
const { Api, JsonRpc } = require('eosjs');
const fetch = (...args) => import('node-fetch').then(({default: fetch}) => fetch(...args));
const rpc = new JsonRpc('http://localhost:8888', { fetch });
const accounts = await rpc.history_get_key_accounts(public_key);
