Well, I hope it was not supposed to be an accurate translation of the sentence,
because even if it sounds really funny, it's quite not a good translation of the
meaning of the sentence (but I like the "by the name of Coucher de Hors" :))),
as well as the Johnny "the Rabbit" Chiflet, even if Jean-Loup is in fact a
perfectly acceptable first name, absolutely no pun in it :)) ).

Anyway I like your translation :) .
