Sarah and John B name their daughter JJ in Outer Banks season 5. The name honors their friend JJ Maybank, whose death drives much of the final season.
Sarah gives birth while holding John B’s hand, and the baby is later present during the couple’s wedding celebration at the rebuilt Chateau. The child’s name creates an emotional link between the new generation and the Pogues’ lost friend.
This JJ is a newborn girl, not JJ Maybank returning to life. The finale makes that distinction clear: the original JJ remains dead, while the baby’s name serves as a memorial. The naming also reinforces the show’s recurring themes of family, loyalty, and chosen family.
