Usually great care is taken that characters on a TV show are not named after real people. However occasionally naming is a deliberate shout-out to a real person, and is considered a rare honour. Additionally in Supernatural, fictionalised versions of real people have occurred including Jared, Jensen, Misha, Eric Kripke, Genevieve Padalecki and Sera Gamble.

- Jenny Klein (character) who is the personal assistant to witch Don Stark is named after writer Jenny Klein.
- Julia Wilkinson, a former nun from who left the order soon after an incident in 1958 involving Abaddon, Henry Winchester and Josie Sands, is named after Supernatural Wiki admin, Jules Wilkinson.
