    • 1994, Erica Jong, Fear of Fifty, page 61:
      My mother was called Yehudit by her Russian Jewish parents when she was born in England, but the intransigent Englishman in the registry office had changed it first to Judith and then to Edith ( "good English names" ) - leaving the resultant impression that Jews were not even allowed to keep their own names.
