- 2013, Pauliina Rauhala, Taivaslaulu, Gummerus, →ISBN, pages 103–104:
- Miten meille voi tulla kaksi poikaa? Eihän niitä luontonimiäkään ole pojille enää jäljellä kuin Pyry, josta en tykkää kun se kuulostaa jyrinältä, ja Kari, josta varmasti seuraa epäonnea. Tai voihan niitä keksiä nykyään itsekin. Miten olisi Kuu ja Otava? Tai Heinä ja Pensas? Tai Puro ja Virta?
- How could we get two sons? There are no nature names remaining for us than Pyry, that I don't like because of its sound, and Kari, which could only bring misfortune. I suppose one could come up with new ones. How about Kuu and Otava? Or Heinä and Pensas? Or Puro and Virta?
