fi 2010 w:fi:Juha Itkonen Seitsemäntoista 7 Otava 978-951-1-24579-7 Henrik. Hän katsoo teipinpalasta eikä voi olla ajattelematta nimeään ― muiden kaappien haltijoihin verrattuna se tuntuu keikarimaiselta. Arto. Spede. Kari. Jorma. Tietysti hän olisi voinut kirjoittaa Henkka, Henkaksi häntä kutsutaan, mutta olisiko se sitten parempi? Henri vielä kävisi, k on liikaa. Äidin syytä tämäkin, äiti on lisännyt k:n. Henrik. He looks at the piece of tape and couldn't help but think of his name ― it seems snobby compared to names on the other lockers. Arto. Spede. Kari. Jorma. He could've written Henkka too, that's what he's called after all. But would it be any better? Henri could still be okay, but the k is too much. That's mother's fault too - she had added the k.

sv 1975 Christer Kihlman Dyre prins Wahlström & Widstrand 9146121315 113 Som liten var jag ganska stolt över mitt namn. Donald! Det klingade minsann mäktigare det än både Kalle och Ville och Lasse. Senare, när jag upphöjt mig själv i borgarståndet och för säkerhets skull beseglat min borgerlighet genom äktenskapet med Gunnel Lindermann hade jag uppriktigt sagt gärna hetat nånting annat, nånting mera traditionellt ståndsmässigt, eller från den synpunkten konventionellare, som Johan eller Henrik eller Carl-Gustaf. Till och med Max och Moritz och Niklas hade gått an.
