My Fanon: Middle Names

[hells_half_acre]

Occasionally things slip into my fanon....either consciously or subconsciously. In my Quick Reaction post to 6x02, I talked about one of the things that had slipped in subconsciously, because so many other people also believed it (in this case: that Dean raised Sam from his babyhood onward pretty much on his own). Once I realized that not only was it not canon, but it was also highly unbelievable and didn't mesh well with how John interacted with his kids in the show - I promptly threw it out of my fanon.

Some things, I'm not so willing to let go of...and some things in my fanon are just bizarre.

For instance, I really like to believe that Dean's middle name is Marion. I think it suits him. Now, there's absolutely no evidence that the boys even HAVE middle names, but in my head Dean's middle name is Marion and Sam's middle name is John.

And there's your useless bit of information for the evening...sometimes even a canon-crazy person such as myself makes up their own fanon and doesn't really want to let go of it.

On a somewhat related topic: Years and years ago, there was an interview done with Jensen, and in it he basically implied that in HIS personal fanon, Dean used to...well, be a prostitute from time to time when he was younger. Anyway, I have never been able to re-find that article. I remember I found it on a webpage with a pinkish background and that it may have been for some Australian TV guide type magazine, but then again, maybe it wasn't. Anyway, if anyone remembers this article better than me and can maybe find it, please let me know!

Of all the possible middle names Dean could have, why Marion? Somehow, I do think it suits him, but I'd like to know how you came up with it in the first place. :)

Now you made me think about my personal fanon, and the things that I can't let go of, despite lack of evidence, or canon evidence to the contrary. Like, I'll always believe that Dean got a tertiary-level degree from a correspondence course, and that the Winchesters put protective wards on the Impala. :D

Well, my older brother and sister's middle names are my parents' names...so, that's a naming trend I'm familiar with. Also, if Sam and Dean were named after their grandparents, I thought their middle names might be named after their parents...and Marion is the masculine form of Mary.

Also, it was John Wayne's real name.

It's fun to think of personal fanon stuff! I like your Impala one. :)

Heh, I love that Sam was named after the men and Dean the women. :D

Also: Dean totally started wearing the leather jacket after watching Rebel Without a Cause and seeing pictures of James Dean.
