- 1990, Tuula-Liina Varis, Vauvat yhdentyvät Eurooppaan, Suomen Kuvalehti, 30 (27.7.)1990:
- Koreita nimiä ku köyhän kakaroilla, sanottiin ennen. Köyhällä ei muuta koreata ollut lapselleen antaa. Itsellenikin on läheinen lounaissuomalainen maatyöläisen pesue, jossa suomalaisen nimen peräkaneettina vilisi Wilhelmiinaa, Aleksandraa ja Amandaa, jopa Dagmar. Suuresti epäilen, osasiko kumpikaan vanhemmista sitä lausua.
- Such rich names for such poor children, as we used to say. The only rich thing a poor person had was the name they could give ot their child. I knew very well a southwestern family living off the land, where their Finnish names were followed by Wilhelmina, Aleksandra, Amanda, even Dagmar. I have my doubts about whether either of the parents even could pronounce those correctly.
