[name_m]How[/name_m] obvious is the connection between those names and the television show “Supernatural.” I’m a huge fan of the show, but I have also been a big fan of both names since before I ever even watched it. I’ve always loved [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] more, though. I want to put [name_u]Dean[/name_u] back up there on my list (like within the top five), but I’m afraid of how many people will just solely associate it with the TV show.
No matter what, [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] “[name_u]Sam[/name_u]” is staying as my number two name. But I am in love with the name [name_u]Dean[/name_u] as well. What do you guys think about me moving up [name_u]Dean[/name_u] on my list? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think people will only think of “Supernatural” and think I’m copying from the characters?
Honestly, I immediately thought of the show when I saw the title, and I don’t even watch it. [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] and [name_u]Dean[/name_u] would work, I suppose, but [name_u]Sam[/name_u] and [name_u]Dean[/name_u] scream Supernatural to me.
My little sister and mother are super obsessed with the show, so I instantly thought of the show. I think it’d be a bit much if you used the two consecutively, but, if say, you had 5 boys; [name_m]Zachary[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_m]Weston[/name_m] and [name_u]Dean[/name_u], then it wouldn’t be a problem at all. (I love your taste in boys names, by the way!
Honestly, I was just scrolling through the forums page and saw “Brothers named [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] ‘[name_u]Sam[/name_u]’…” and I immediately thought of Supernatural. I hate the show but my best friend is absolutely obsessed so I make the connection pretty quickly. If it makes you feel better though, she’s probably gonna have boys named [name_u]Sam[/name_u], [name_u]Dean[/name_u], and [name_m]Castiel[/name_m] so you wouldn’t be alone.
It screams Supernatural!!! I love that show and I seen [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] and [name_u]Dean[/name_u] and thought of Moose and Squirrel! I feel like its still a really strong connection because the show is still going on and very popular…
I agree with a previous poster who pointed out that if you only have two boys and name them [name_u]Sam[/name_u] and [name_u]Dean[/name_u], then it would be very obvious. However, if you’re planning to have more than two children, then I think you’ll be fine. I don’t watch the show but I immediately thought of “Supernatural” when I saw the title of this post.
I don’t watch Supernatural but immediately made the connection when I read your thread title and judging from other people’s comments, Yes, people are gonna think of the show. Up to you how big of a deal that is though, if you like the show anyway is it really an issue? (Not like you’re naming them [name_m]Tyrion[/name_m] and [name_f]Daenerys[/name_f])
I don’t watch the show, but my brother really likes it (for whatever reasons. I thought only girls liked it but whatever.). I thought of it, but I wouldn’t be like “oh, supernatural”. Honestly, both names are common enough that I think you’re fine. In a few years, I bet the show won’t be as popular so the association will fade. I like both [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] and [name_u]Dean[/name_u], I think the names sound good together. I wouldn’t let the show ruin it for you.
I’d bet less people have seen the show than not. I think [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] ‘[name_u]Sam[/name_u]’ and [name_u]Dean[/name_u] would make great brothers!
