ALL of those car names are infinitely better than the names of the two sisters in those books, Beatrice and Ramona. YUK. No wonder Ramona thought that Chevrolet was a beautiful name, going through life with a moniker like Ramona. If I were Ramona, I'd change my name legally to Chevrolet as soon as possible.

I think Ramona's kind of cute, but I don't like Beatrice at all. Beverly Cleary chose Ramona after she heard a neighbor calling out for "Ramona" one day. In the books, Beezus is named after her mother's sister, Aunt Beatrice. Ramona's middle name is the indisputably bad Geraldine.
Their baby sister is Roberta Day, Day being the mother's maiden name. Roberta was probably after the father, Bob.
