Needham was a fine old name, a founding fathers sort of name, a name you could trace back to the Massachusetts Bay Colony - if not exactly Gravesend itself.

fi 1968 w:fi:Venny Kontturi Kankurikello 32 Gummerus Mutta nimeksi ei voitu laittaa Daniel niin kuin Kusti koko ajan oli uhkaillut ja äiti vastustellut. Äiti oli sanonut tosisssaan, ettei sitä nyt sellaista karhunpalvelusta voida lapsellensa tehdä että Taneliksi ristittäisiin. Toiset mukulat tuonnempana vain nimittelisivät ja rumaa hokua veisaisivat lapselle.Ja Viira tiesi kyllä, mitä viisua äiti ajoi takaa vaikka ei sanonut. Sitä niin, jossa hoettiin hävyttömästi, että tint tant taneli, tanelin pallia paleli. But the name couldn't be Daniel, as Kusti had been threatening and mother resisting. The mother had said in earnest that they couldn't do such a disservice to their child to christen them Taneli. The other kids would just pick on him, singing their ugly rhymes.And Viira knew what she was getting at, even if she didn't say it out loud. The obscene one that went "tint tant taneli, tanelin pallia paleli".
fi 2014 Antti Holma Järjestäjä 46 Otava 978-951-1-27976-1 Daniel hänen nimensä oli. Tietenkin. Ei hän olisi voinut olla Jani tai Sami. Janit ovat kännykkäkaupassa töissä. Samitkin ovat kännykkäkaupassa töissä, mutta esimiesasemassa. Oliko hän joku tähti? Daniel was his name. Of course. He couldn't be a Jani or Sami. Janis work at mobile phone shops, and Samis too but as managers. Was he a star?
fi 2019 w:fi:Anja Portin Muistokirjoitus 107 S&S 978-951-52-4716-2 Daniel, mies sanoo. Julia ajattelee, että nimi sopii kauriille, se on pehmeä ja notkea. Hän tarttuu miehen käteen ja sanoo nimensä. Daniel, the main said. Julia thinks that the name is fitting for a deer, it's soft and flexible. She grabs the man by his hand and says his name.
