• ~1593 William Shakespeare: Richard III: Act V, Scene II:

  What! do I fear myself? there's no one else by;

  Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I.

• 1985 William Wharton: Pride ISBN 0394536363 page 97:

  I'd love to live in our castle. First I'd change my name from Dickie to Richard. That's my real name and it's a good king name. I don't like being called Dickie anyway, and I don't want to be Dick Junior either because everybody starts calling you Junior. What I'd like to be called is Rich but I don't know how to start people doing it.
