   • 1996 Joyce Carol Oates, We Were the Mulvaneys, Harper Perennial (2007), ISBN 978-1-84115-669-6, page 4:

     "Judd" was a name associated with a certain measure of sternness, sobriety, though in fact we Mulvaney children were rarely scolded and even more rarely punished: "Judson Andrew" which is my baptismal name was a name of such dignity and aspiration I never came to feel it could be mine, only something borrowed like a Hallowe'en mask.
