In Book 3, Johnny Dongle continues his full-frontal assault on the terrible names given to children by modern parents.

Johnny Dongle returns with more real-life, awful names given to children by even realer-life, awfuler parents. Tresco: Child or Discount Pharmacy Chain? Pacey: Child or Race Horse?
