Well, perhaps.  But "John", as a name (and reference) *exists* outside
of the context of folktales and such.

If you read a series of books which included three different
characters of various importance, all of whom were named
"Rumplestiltskin", wouldn't you think it just the teeniest bit
strange, given that all of your previous experience and context of
"Rumplestiltskin" as a name is that it is only used in a folktale?
