Actually, it does, if you're British and born before 1990. In other words, it's so intuitively obvious to Mr. Gaiman that he can't imagine there being any confusion. This is one of those times we should all remember that what is obvious to us is not necessarily so to others.

I think the implication would be a lot clearer if the child's surname weren't a food item. I have no trouble reading it the way that Mr. Gaiman intended, but would have assumed that the child had picked a ridiculous and slightly pretentious-sounding nickname for himself.

I'm British and was born in 1977. I've read GO countless times and had no idea that was their surname. I thought it was a nickname, just like literally everyone I know who has read the book.
