RCA model names

[reeferman]

Where in the world did RCA come up with the model names for their sets? Did it lend/add an aura to the set? The French were consistent in naming battlefield encampments after the General's girlfriends. RCA makes no sense at all. Did you know the "Whitby" name was used for the -5N, -11C, & -17X? Does anybody really care? If you have a model # and want to know the name, my field service index is about 95% there through -19. One thing I did find (interresting ?) was the -12AC was listed as Hotel/Motel.
