   • 1922, Anni Swan, Pikkupappilassa, WSOY, published 1966, page 142:

     Lotti tenäsi koreita nimiä vastaan, ne olivat niin vaikeat lausua. Ja hänen paperinukkensa eivät olleet mitään ruhtinattaria tai sotapäälliköitä, ne olivat hänen omia pikkulapsiaan ja niillä piti olla pikkulasten nimet. Maija ja Kerttu ja Lassi ja Lilli.

     Lotti argued against overly flowery names, since they were so hard to pronounce. Her paper dolls were no princesses or warlords; they were her own children and they needed childrens' names. Maija and Kerttu and Lassi and Lilli.
