    • 1917, Joel Lehtonen, Kerran kesällä, Otava, published 1972, page 75:
      "Paatilla makaamaan", matki surkeasti Bongman. "Maissi-rouva! Miksi ei Riissi-rouva, miksi ei suomalaisia nimiä. Ja Svea Ruusa. Miksi ei Saima, Inari, Koli..."
      "Kuinka te uskallatte!" huudahti rouva Könölin.
      "Lie down on the boat", Bongman pitifully repeated. "Mrs Maissi! Why not Mrs Riissi, why not Finnish names. And Svea Ruusa. Why not Saima, Inari, Koli..."
      "How dare you!", Mrs Könölin shouted.
    • 2014, Leena Kirstinä, Kirsi Kunnas―sateessa ja tuulessa, WSOY, →ISBN, pages 29–30:
      Kirsin ja Alilan pikkusisko Inari syntyi 24. syyskuuta 1931. Inari oli tuolloin hyvin uudenaikainen nimi, ja Kirsi ja Alila vitsailivatkin myöhemmin keskenään, että äiti oli keksinyt sen poistamalla miehensä nimestä E-kirjaimen.
      Kirsi's and Alila's younger sister Inari was born on September 24, 1931. Inari was a really new naem back then, and Kirsi and Alila would go on to joke between themselves that their mother had invented the name by taking out the initial E from her husband's name.
