- Perille tultaessa ei muori muistanutkaan kotona annettuja, ties kuinkakin harvinaisia nimiä. Pastori ehdotti silloin raamatullista Eliasta, jonka nimipäivä oli lähimailla almanakassa. Kotona oli äiti tyytymättömänä tokaissut, että "olis hänen sitte pannut vaikka Tuisku-Jaakoksi", ja isän mielestä oli pojasta tehty "hulikka". Sammatissa Eliaksen arkimuoto on nimittäin Elkka.

- Poikamme sai nimekseen Paul Elias. Paul oli aina ollut lempinimeni lapsuuteni mielikirjan Kahden vuoden loma-ajan ja Välskärin kertomusten Paulien mukaan. Toisen nimen Paul sai Larsin isoisän Eliksen muistoksi ja myös sen takia, että hän syntyi Elias Lönnrotin 150-vuotispäivänä. ( - - - ) Martti naureskeli nimen kuultuaan, että pienokaisen ja hänen välillään vallitsee kansanperinteessä mainittu leikillinen yhteys: poika oli kummin kaima. Myös Martin toinen nimi oli Elias.
