Was the brother lost or were there just two people walking around the house with the same name, doomed to be confused every time someone summoned one of them?

No, they weren't quite that bad ๐Ÿ˜‚

The older one passed away as a child, so they named the younger one after him, about a year later. I'm thinking that the name might be unlucky though, the younger one died in the first world war, not long after having two children. Neither of his kids were named John, and they both lived long, happy lives...
