- a female given name
- 2007, Miika Nousiainen, Vadelmavenepakolainen, Otava, →ISBN, pages 127–128:
- Etsin Ritva Miettistä. Nimikylteistä näkee että Ritvoja riittää: Ritva Lindroos, Ritva Lehtinen, Ritva Saarinen, Ritva Nieminen, Ritva Ahokangas ja niin edelleen. On siellä joku Tuulakin joukossa, mutta enimmäkseen yhtiömme palkanmaksu ja henkilöstöasiat ovat Ritvojen käsissä. ( - - - )
Ja entä kun Ritvat jäävät kymmenen vuoden päästä pois työelämästä? Mistä löytyy työvoimareservi korvaamaan poistuvat suurten ikäluokkien Ritvat? Kuka purkaa Ritva-pommin?- I'm looking for Ritva Miettinen. The nameplates do have plenty of Ritvas: Ritva Lindroos, Ritva Lehtinen, Ritva Saarinen, Ritva Nieminen, Ritva Ahokangas and so on. There's one Tuula among them too, but mostly our company's payroll and personnel related matters are done by Ritvas. ( - - - )
And what about when the Ritvas retire in ten years time? Where will we find the employee reserves to replace the Ritvas of the post-war generations? Who will defuse the Ritva bomb?
