fi 2010 w:fi:Ritva Kokkola Palasin kynnykseltä. Novelleja 86–87 Myllylahti Oy 978-952-202-203-5 Maija-täti sanoi, että heillä päin koirille ei annettu vierasmaalaisia nimiä. Eikä tietysti lapsillekaan. Sitten kun olin käynyt rippikoulun, minua pyydettiin kummiksi. Ehdotin vauvan nimeksi Annea tai Heidiä tai Marikaa. Koulun takia en päässyt ristiäisiin. Pari viikkoa myöhemmin sain valokuvan, johon oli kirjoitettu Kummitädille Eilalta. Aunt Maija had said that they didn't give their dogs foreign names, neither their children. After I completed confirmation school, I was asked to be a godmother. I suggested Anna or Heidi or Marika as the name. I couldn't attend the christening due to confirmation school. A few weeks later I got a photo that read From Eila to grandmother.
