i firmly believe that Sean gave his and Daniel's names as "Sam and Dean Winchester" to at least one motel clerk/diner waitress/shelter employee at some point in their travels. it is one hundred percent not a conscious decision, he just panics when he realizes on the spot that they need fake names, gives the first ones that come to mind, and has to Live With It.

the person they're lying to either doesn't get the references or can't admit they do in public, so things are okay there. Daniel either recognizes the reference and finds it hilarious, or it completely goes over his head and he doesn't understand why Sean looks like he's going to burst out crying/laughing every time someone refers to them by those names afterwards--i can't decide which is funnier.
