   • 1984, Antero Manninen, Hyväonnisen miehen muistikuvia, Kirjayhtymä, →ISBN, page 47:

     Kirjassa kerrottiin romantisoivassa sävyssä mayakansan kuninkaiden jälkeläisestä Pablosta eli Hualpasta, ja sen tehoa ja suosiota kuvaa se, että Erkiksi ristitty perheen niukasti puhetaitoinen kuopuskin julisti olevansa "maua" ja sittemmin omaksui puhuttelunimekseen järjestyksessä toisen etunimensä Mauno.

     The book told romantically of a descendant of the king of the Mayans, Pablo or Hualpa, and what serves as a testament to its power and popularity is that even the lastborn of the family, who was given the name Erkki and wasn't good at speaking, said he was a "maua" and thus people started calling him by his second name, Mauno.

   • 1971, Aila Meriluoto, Peter-Peter, WSOY, published 1997, →ISBN, page 27:

     Kivipään etunimi oli Mauno, se oli minusta niin vetistynyt ja ilmeetön nimi etten ikinä sanonut häntä muuksi kuin Kivipääksi. Kuvittele nyt: Mauno, Manu, Manne―maista sitä suussasi―nimenä täysvillillä mustalla jättiläisellä.

     Kivipää's first name was Mauno. I thought it was such a watery and expressionless name that I never called him anything else than Kivipää. Imagine: Mauno, Manu, Manne―see how it tastes in your mouth―as the name of a completely wild black giant.

2. a Finnish surname transferred from the given name
