fi 1988 w:Erik W. Tawaststjerna Jean Sibelius 5 Otava 951-1-10395-4 261 Nyt Katarina tiedusteli äidiltään mikä pantaisiin lapsen nimeksi - hän itse tuntui olevan Petrin kannalla. Ainon vastaus heijastelee hänen karelianistis-kosmopoliittista näkökantaansa:"Petri Ilves tosin on vähän etnografi-kaikuinen ja tuo mieleeni Gallénin sankareita koskien partailta helmiset virsut tai kiiluvat sukset jalassa. ( - - - ) " Now Katarina inquired her mother on what the child should be named. She herself seemed to think Petri was the one. Aino's response is a reflection of her Karelianistic-cosmopolitan world view:"Petri Ilves sounds a bit like an ethnographer and reminds me of Gallén's heroes, from by the rapids, wearing their pearly birchbark shoes or gleaming skis."

Mä löysin sen just.—Petri, Reiska sanoi ja maisteli nimeä. Se ei sanonut mitään, ei puoleen eikä toiseen. Ei sitä ainakaan voinut vääntää.—Mikäs siinä, olkoon Petri.—Petri se sitten on. Mitä äidin pikku Petri. —I got it, Leila cried in joy, clapping her hands.—Got what?—The name! I know the name now.—What is it? Reiska asked with suspicion.—Petri. I just came up with it.—Petri, Reiska said, testing the name. It didn't feel like anything, not one way or another. It couldn't be turned into anything else.—Alright, Petri is fine.—Petri it is. Mom's little Petri.
