2015, Leena Lehtolainen, Surunpotku, Tammi, →ISBN, pages 414, 418:- Pulmu, toistin. - Se on kaunis ja harvinainen nimi. Miksi et enää käytä sitä? ( - - - )
Minun nimeni oli silloin vielä Pulmu. Pulmu Kaarina Lipsanen. Olin pieni ja arka enkä uskaltanut käydä koulun vessassa, kun pelkäsin, että joku tulee avaamaan oven kesken kaiken. Henna ivasi minua. Pulmu palasokeri, se sanoi. Sulatko, jos sinut panee kahviin.- - Pulmu, I repeated. - It's a beautiful and rare name. Why don't you use it anymore? ( - - - )
My name was still Pulmu back then. Pulmu Kaarina Lipsanen. I was small and timid, and didn't dare to go to the school bathroom, because I was afraid someone would bash in and open the door. Henna mocked me. Pulmu cube sugar, she said. Are you gonna melt if I put you in coffee.
