- - Meidän Bertta se on potra tyttö, vaikkei ihan aina ole ruoka-aikaan kotonakaan, Ukko Barndik kehaisi miniäänsä. - Eikä sillä ole ihan tavallinen nimikään. Niinkuin ei ole meidän sukunimikään tavallinen.
- - Our Bertta is a lively girl, even if she's not always home at dinner, Ukko Barndik praised her daughter-in-law. - And her name isn't usual either, nor is our surname.

Kalliovaara oli varmasti harkinnut lasten nimiä pitkään ja päätynyt turvallisiin mutta tyylikkään vanhahtaviin nimiin.- - How old were your children again?
- Bertta is six and Johannes nine years old.
Kalliovaara must've surely thought about the names for a long time and decided on safe but stylish, somewhat old-fashioned, name.

- The letter B in the Finnish spelling alphabet.
Usage notes[edit]
