I can't really imagine AR sitting chuckling in his barn as he came up with naughty names for his characters (and of course we know that, apart from John and Nancy at least, the names were shared with children he knew - and I'm not sure how much awareness there would be of the US usage of "John" in the UK in the 20s).

It did put me in mind of the urban myth about Captain Pugwash, though. To think that Roger the Cabin Boy never served on the Black Pig, but served on the good ship Swallow all this time...
