What are "names"? AFAIK the only "names" in JSON are the names of 
builtin identifiers like "true" and "false". Everything else is either 
an aggregate type (list, dict/hashtable, etc), a quoted "string", or a 
literal numeric value (like 1 or 1.2, etc). Maybe I misunderstood your 
terminology or JSON specs?

It might be that "Javascript" is not a valid lexer filetype, I've never 
been clear on this. Perhaps you should use "C" or "CPP" or "C++" or 
something (whatever makes it use Scintilla's LexCPP.cxx lexer). Maybe 
someone more knowledgeable can confirm the correct one.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure it worked as in the original wiki entry, otherwise 
I can't imagine why I'd have posted it.
