• 2003 Maeve Binchy, Quentins, Orion, ISBN 0752851659, page 79:

  Quentin Barry had always wished that he had been called Sean or Brian. It was hard to be called Quentin at a Christian Brothers school in the 1970s. But that was the name they had wanted, his beautiful mother Sara Barry had wanted, she who had always lived in a dream world far more elegant that the one she really lived in.
