- 1967 Anu Kaipainen, Arkkienkeli Oulussa, WSOY, page 117:
- Minun nimeni on Leena, tyttö sanoi. Leena oli kaunis nimi. Miikkaelkin tunsi monta Leenaa. Ei ollut hätää olla minkään Leenan kanssa.- - My name is Leena, the girl said. Leena was a beautiful name. Miikkael knew many Leenas too, so being with a Leena was not a problem.
2008, Niina Hakalahti, Uimataito, Tammi, →ISBN, pages 250–251:—No mitä sinä sitten haluat?
—Jotakin yksinkertaista. Maija, Liisa, Leena. Santerilla on muuten hyvä nimi, mutta se Luca kyllä kaduttaa. [ - - - ]
—Entä yhdysnimet? Vaikka Marve-Leena?
—Niin tai vaikka Impi-Tytti?- —So what do you want then?
—Something plain. Maija, Liisa, Leena. Santeri has an otherwise good name, but I do still regret Luca. [ - - - ]
—What about double-barreled names? Like Marve-Leena?
—Or even Impi-Tytti?
