“May I call it—let me see—Bonny would do—may I call it Bonny while I’m here? Oh, do let me! … I like things to have handles even if they are only geraniums. It makes them seem more like people. How do you know but that it hurts a geranium’s feelings just to be called a geranium and nothing else? You wouldn’t like to be called nothing but a woman all the time. Yes, I shall call it Bonny.” (Anne of Green Gables, Chapter 4)
