- - Meidän Bertta se on potra tyttö, vaikkei ihan aina ole ruoka-aikaan kotonakaan, Ukko Barndik kehaisi miniäänsä. - Eikä sillä ole ihan tavallinen nimikään. Niinkuin ei ole meidän sukunimikään tavallinen.
- - Our Bertta is a lively girl, even if she's not always home at dinner, Ukko Barndik praised her daughter-in-law. - And her name isn't usual either, nor is our surname.
- 2016, Niina Hakalahti, Lumilinna, Karisto, →ISBN, page 58:
- - Minkäs ikäisiä sun lapset nyt onkaan?
- Bertta on kuus ja Johannes yhdeksän.
Kalliovaara oli varmasti harkinnut lasten nimiä pitkään ja päätynyt turvallisiin mutta tyylikkään vanhahtaviin nimiin.- - How old were your children again?
- Bertta is six and Johannes nine years old.

- The letter B in the Finnish spelling alphabet.
