No this is people who have registered john.johnson.name, but johnson.name remains Verisign's (and e.g. unrelated Alice has also registered alice.johnson.name)

Which is an insane scheme to begin with. Why not "john-johnson.name"?
Because registration of second level domains in .name was not available.
So that you could use john@johnson.name as your email instead of john@john-johnson.name. The .name gtld was created in the height of the "we will move to a paperless world and email will become the universal way to communicate" era.
I just own lastname.com so my email is first@last.com, would recommend (I guess probably a bit harder nowadays)
