Ben's sister Hannah was horrified that her brother was referred to by a woman's name, Ben Daisy. Is her outrage understandable considering what Daisy represents to Ben and also to Libertie?

I agree with several here about Ben having an obsession with Daisy who left him before she died. I imagine his sister was justifiably worried about Ben’s mental health after losing her and his break down during his journey to freedom. It must have felt to her he was being ridiculed and dismissed by the towns folk which would be upsetting, especially when you thought he was in the care of a medical professional. As there still is now, mental health is often a target of stigma.
