I find it kind of intriguing that, when asked the baby’s name, Sam says “John” and Dean says “Bobby.”

You’d think it would be the other way around. Dean was always Johns loyal little soldier, and I’m sure Sam connected with ‘Uncle Bobby’ more than he ever did with his father. And if this had happened a few seasons earlier, I’m willing to bet the answers would be reversed.

But this is season 6, and Sam doesn’t have a soul. Sure, he’s got all Sam’s memories, so he knows about all the fights he and John had, but he doesn’t have the emotions attached to them. The practical, unemotional, soulless Sam assumes that naming the baby after his own father is the logical thing to do.

And I think Dean has reached the point in his life where he realizes how messed up things were with John and how Bobby was always there for them. Plus, he figures since Bobby was so good with him and Sam, he probably always wanted kids of his own and might get a kick out of having the baby named after him.

Bobby John.

Don’t mind me, I’ve thought about this way too much.
