More importantly, I think he was named Johnny Cade by the author to reference his Christ-like characteristics. Johnny Cade = Jesus Christ (JC). Johnny dies for others and with the hope that his death will bring light to others. Note how the book begins and ends, "When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness..." This indicates that Johnny's message has been successfully received by Pony and that Johnny did not die in vain.
That his friends changed Johnny Cade into Johnnycake retains the JC symbolism and demonstrates camaraderie among the gang.
Note, I think the author was inspired by John Steinbeck, specifically the character of Jim Casey (JC) in The Grapes of Wrath. But also how the image of the country in The Outsiders is similar to Lennie's dream of the farm in Of Mice & Men.
