- Isä meni ja Viano o siäl viäl. Koton Hilja ja mää vaa. Saatana, mimmoset nimekki lorteil. Annoin hyväs uskos. Ny sitä vojeisis kiroo täräyttää koko maaliman.
- Dad went and Viano is still there. It's just Hilja and me at home. God damn, what names for a kid. I gave them with good intentions. Now it's worth swearing over this world.
- 2016, Leena Lehtolainen, Tiikerinsilmä, Tammi, →ISBN, pages 50–51:
- - - - Olen siis Lovisa. Johnson ojensi kätensä, ja sen ote oli luinen mutta jämäkkä.
- Hilja.
- Nimi ei ole tavallinen ikäiselläsi. Miksi sinut ristittiin siten?
- Ei aavistustakaan. Vanhempani eivät olleet kertomassa, ja enoni Jari, joka kasvatti minut, ei tiennyt muuta kuin että isän suvussa oli ollut tämän nimisiä. Kyllähän siitä kouluaikoina koetettiin vinoilla, mutta se loppui lyhyeen.- - - - I am Lovisa. Johnson reached her hand out with a bony but stout grip.
- Hilja.
- That name is not common for someone of your age. Why did you get that name?
- No clue. My parents weren't there to tell me, and my uncle Jari who raised me only knew that father's family had people of that name. Back in the school days some did try to pick on me for that, but that didn't last long.
- - - - I am Lovisa. Johnson reached her hand out with a bony but stout grip.
- 2018, Heidi Jaatinen, Koski, Gummerus, →ISBN, pages 198–199:
- Stiina meni ja sulki Hilja Esterin syliinsä, miten erilainen tämä Hilja oli kuin Kosken Hilja. Hilja Ester tuli nimeensä. Tytön kasvoilla arvokkuus, sisar oli sinut kohtalonsa kanssa, silmät kuin tähdet.
- Stiina covered Hilja Ester in her lap. Just how different this Hilja was from that of Koskis. Hilja Ester became her name. On her face was a kind of dignity, her sister had come to terms with her fate, her eyes like stars.
