The above question is tricky.

One has to think in a smart way to answer this question.

The question it self answers the names of three children by the sentence Johnny's mother had 3 children.

Name of first child is April and the second child name is May.

So obviously the third child name would be Johnny as mother's name is mentioned as Johnny's mother.

The answer is Johnny.

The third child’s name is Johnny.
