Miss Fanny Bright, a young woman the song narrator takes a sleigh ride with, is referred to by name in the second verse of "Jingle Bells":
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon, Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side,
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot.
