- Jo laitoksella ollessani oli anoppini sanonut: "Jaakkohan tästä pojasta tulee."
En ollut asiasta niinkään varma. En ollut erityisen ihastunut Jaakko-nimeen.
Tiesin kyllä, että Niilon sukulaiset, erityisesti hänen kaksi vanhaa tätiään Hanna ja Elli Wegelius, toivoivat pojasta Jaakkoa suvun kantaisän, 1776 syntyneen teologian, filosofian ja lääketieteen tohtorin Jakob Wegeliuksen mukaan. Jaakko-nimeä ei ollut vielä kellään harvoista nimenjatkajista. Tätä nimeä puolusti myös se, että oman isäni isän nimi oli ollut Jaakko. Lopulta sopeuduin suvun toivomukseen ja vanhimpamme sai tukun suvun nimiä.- Already at the ward my mother-in-law had said: "This boy will be a Jaakko".
I was not so sure about that. I was not particulaly thrilled with the name Jaakko.
I did know that Niilo's relatives, especially his two old aunts Hanna and Elli Wegelius wished for the boy to be named Jaakko after the family's ancestor Jakob Wegelius, a theologist, philosopher and doctor of medicine born in 1776. Nobody of his descendants had been named Jaakko. Furthermote, my own father's father's name was also Jaakko. In the end I acquiesced to the family's wishes and our oldest children were given all names from the family.
