fi 1982 w:fi:Orvokki Autio Kotipesä Gummerus 9512621584 14 ―Vai Aatoksen sinä sen poikasi nimeksi pistit, oli Ilmi sanonut ja pannut silmänsä kiinni.—Lauri se on, Lasseksi sanotahan, oli Armi sanonut. ―Aatos on toinen nimi. So Aatos is what you chose to name your son, Ilmi had said and closed her eyes.—He's Lauri, but we call him Lasse, Armi had said. —Aatos is his middle name.
fi 2019 w:fi:Anja Portin Muistokirjoitus S&S 978-951-52-4716-2 127 Nimet ovat liian samanlaiset, liian lähellä toisiaan. Lasse ja Laura. Melkein kuin Lassi ja Leevi tai Liinu ja Tiinu. Olisi helpompaa, jos huulipunanaisen nimi olisi Sinikka tai Paula. Tai joku Hannele. Lasse ja Sinikka ei kuulostaisi yhtä tyhmältä kuin Lasse ja Laura. The names are too similar, too close to each other. Lasse and Laura. Almost like Lassi and Leevi or Liinu and Tinnu. It'd be easier if that lipsticked woman was named Sinikka or Paula. Or like Hannele. Lasse and Sinikka wouldn't sound as stupid as Lasse and Laura.
