That's grotesque.  If I saw such a thing in a printed book, I'd send
it back and assume from then on that the authors were a bunch of
illiterate morons.

You understand that we *are* talking about printed book source, yes?

No, the numbers denote their place *in an ordered sequence*.  If you
want un-ordered names, we need to make them names, not sequence
numbers.  And I'm fine with doing that.  Ending up with the "I'm a
drunken retarded six year old" numerical sequence, not so much.

To everybody else: my apologies for the bike-shed painting.  :P
