     "Emily" was preserved and erased, reduced to the sexless cypher "E.", and then came to denote not the shared and ordinary name "Emily" but a new, exotic, self-begotten "Emilia".

   • 1971, Aila Meriluoto, Peter-Peter, WSOY, published 1997, →ISBN, pages 151–152:

     Miksi en aikoinaan huomannut antaa omilleni tuollaisia viivallisia, vai olenko näin viehättynyt niihin vain Sinun kauttasi. Eikö Sinulla ole kaksoisnimeä? Onko Sinulla ylipäänsä toista nimeä? Minun toinen nimeni on Emilia (Miili-tädin mukaan), ilman ajatusviivaa.

     Why hadn't I ever thought of giving my children those double-barreled names, or perhaps I had only become infatuated with them because of You. Do You not have a double-barreled name? Do You even have a second name? My second name is Emilia (after aunt Miili), without a dash.

   • 2017, Anni Kytömäki, Kivitasku, Gummerus, →ISBN, page 140:

     Emilia vaikenee, riisuu lapasen ja nyppii toisesta neulasia. Hän näyttää pehmeämmältä ja nuoremmalta kuin kaupan loisteputkivalossa, kevät on päivettänyt ihon, vaalea tukka on kihartunut lumesta huokuvassa kosteudessa. Nimikin on pieni ja sievä.

     Emilia falls silent, takes the mitten off her hand and picks needles off the other. She looks softer and younger than in the shop's fluorescent lights. The spring had tanned her skin, her light hair curled by the humidity rising off the snow. Her name was so small and cute.
