Savage is an adjective expressing exactly the opposite of John's personality: He has a very well-rounded, even sophisticated, mindset, as seen by his knowledge of subjects as diverse as Shakespeare. What's more, he has chivalrous intentions in most circumstances -- he doesn't immediately want to have sexual relations with Lenina, as an example, and believes they should become more personally familiar with each other before such exchanges take place. What's more, he seems very in touch with his sensitive or emotional side, meaning that he lacks savagery. This fact is what makes the "Savage" name ironic.
