   • 1885, Frances Mabel Robinson, Mr. Butler's Ward, Vizetelly, page 95:

     Deirdre, it seemed to him, was the most beautiful name in the world. But Mrs. Stanley had different views on nomenclature. She had never, she declared, heard so utterly preposterous a name. […] "Theatre and saltpetre are both spelt that way, Arthur; depend upon it, it is Deirder - a sort of peasant name like Darby and Biddy, a corruption of something else."

   • 1996, Maeve Binchy, This Year It Will Be Different: A Christmas Treasury, Hachette UK, published 2008, →ISBN:

     His daughter was called Deirdre, a good Irish name, but now she signed herself Dee, and her man friend was called Fox.
