- Jo lapsuudessa he olivat olleet erilaisia, ei olisi sisaruksiksi uskonut. Ja oli kuin äitikin olisi vaistonnut ja tajunnut sen heti alusta alkaen, kun antoi heille, sisaruksille, niin erilaiset nimet. Mikä nyt olisi ollut tavallisempi nimi kuin Elvi? Vaikka eihän se ollut nykyään enää tavallinenkaan, vanhanaikainen se oli, ei sellaista nimeä tavannut enää juuri kellään. Kun taas Irene―sehän soinnahti heti niin hienosti. Eräällä prinsessallakin taisi olla sellainen nimi. Ja Irene oli aina ollut nimensä mittainen.
- 1984 Veronica Pimenoff, Loistava Helena, Tammi, →ISBN, page 280:
- Tytär oli nimetön. Helena ei ollut halunnut valita nimeä etukäteen jostakin luettelosta. Hän oli ajatellut että kunhan hän näkee lapsen, hän tietää mikä sen nimi on. Ei hän tiennyt, mikään nimi ei tuntunut sille sopivalta. Sampo oli ehdottanut Ireneä tytön nimeksi enemmän sen merkityksen kuin äänneasun vuoksi. Helena toisti nyt tämän nimen ääneen kuin sovittaakseen sitä lapselle mutta ei tuo tuntunut sopivan.
