- 1994 Caroline Graham: Written in Blood: page 35:
- Sue always thought of her offspring as Amanda. Allowing her to name the child had been one of the last indulgences that Brian had seen fit to bestow. Even then he had not the generosity to conceal his displeasure at her choice. Pretentious. Snobbish. Affected. The baby had been 'Mandy' from the day of her birth and, once Brian had really got the hang of high-rise/comprehensive linguistic mores, 'Mand'.

- Koreita nimiä ku köyhän kakaroilla, sanottiin ennen. Köyhällä ei muuta koreata ollut lapselleen antaa. Itsellenikin on läheinen lounaissuomalainen maatyöläisen pesue, jossa suomalaisen nimen peräkaneettina vilisi Wilhelmiinaa, Aleksandraa ja Amandaa, jopa Dagmar. Suuresti epäilen, osasiko kumpikaan vanhemmista sitä lausua.
- 1996 Raija Siekkinen, Kaunis nimi, Otava, →ISBN, pages 80-81:
- Mutta hän katseli tyttöä: kummallinen nimi, Siiri, vaikka vanhat nimet olivatkin muotia nykyisin, ja pienet Annit ja Amandat tappelivat muovileluista hiekkalaatikoissaan; mutta siihen sukupolveen tämä tyttö ei kuulunut.
