Confirm what you've long suspected - that the Berenstain Bears' real given names are in fact supposed to be ‘Mama’, ‘Papa’, ‘Sister’ and ‘Brother’...this despite the fact that everyone else in their furry Bearverse has a moniker like ‘Fred’ or ‘Lizzie’.
In the same scenario (and yet oddly reversed), my little brother went through a Franklin the Turtle phase, and I often wondered why Franklin got to have a real name, but all his friends were forced to be "Bear", "Beaver", "Goose", etc.
