fi 1971 w:fi:Aila Meriluoto Peter-Peter 151–152 WSOY 1997 978-951-0-36294-5 Miksi en aikoinaan huomannut antaa omilleni tuollaisia viivallisia, vai olenko näin viehättynyt niihin vain Sinun kauttasi. Eikö Sinulla ole kaksoisnimeä? Onko Sinulla ylipäänsä toista nimeä? Minun toinen nimeni on Emilia (Miili-tädin mukaan), ilman ajatusviivaa. Why hadn't I ever thought of giving my children those double-barreled names, or perhaps I had only become infatuated with them because of You. Do You not have a double-barreled name? Do You even have a second name? My second name is Emilia (after aunt Miili), without a dash.
fi 2017 w:fi:Anni Kytömäki Kivitasku Gummerus 978-951-24-0701-9 140 Emilia vaikenee, riisuu lapasen ja nyppii toisesta neulasia. Hän näyttää pehmeämmältä ja nuoremmalta kuin kaupan loisteputkivalossa, kevät on päivettänyt ihon, vaalea tukka on kihartunut lumesta huokuvassa kosteudessa. Nimikin on pieni ja sievä. Emilia falls silent, takes the mitten off her hand and picks needles off the other. She looks softer and younger than in the shop's fluorescent lights. The spring had tanned her skin, her light hair curled by the humidity rising off the snow. Her name was so small and cute.
Usage notes
Popular in Finland at the turn of the 21st century.
