Let's face it, as common as the name "John" and its derivatives may be in RealLife, in works of fiction the particular derivative "Johnny" [[RuleOfCool manages to sound quite cool and awesome in its own way]], no matter how many ways it's spelled. And especially more so if the name-bearer is a badass in ''some'' capacity.
And if Johnny's surname will add to or emphasize that bad-assery, then [[TropesAreTools so much the better]].
Of course, it doesn't always have to be that Johnny [=McCool=] Name is a badass simply because (at least in-universe) his name makes him sound that way. It could be that his really is a MeaningfulName, or a [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast name to give pause to]].
To qualify for this trope, not just ''anybody'' named Johnny Something can apply. The surname has to be something that either sounds cool and can be justified (therefore, not something like "Johnson" unless the character has done something particular noteworthy as per the stipulations of the trope) or that speaks to his personality or some other aspect of the character, or if he is TheHero of an eponymous work. And the character is AlwaysMale.
Nicknames are allowed, so the character can be known as, say, Johnny TheMagnificent or simply Johnny Magnificent.
A sub-trope of [[AwesomeMcCoolName Awesome [=McCool=] Name]].
